Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Apple Touch Icon?
An Apple Touch Icon (180x180 px) is displayed when an iPhone or iPad user saves your website to their home screen as a bookmark or web app.
Do I need both .ico and .png formats?
Modern browsers prefer `<link rel='icon' type='image/png' sizes='32x32'>`, but having a legacy `favicon.ico` ensures compatibility with older browsers.
Should I upload a transparent PNG?
Yes. Transparent PNGs allow browser tabs to render your logo cleanly in both light and dark browser themes.
