Modern Favicon Strategy

A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small logo found in browser tabs. While it seems small, it is crucial for brand recognition and user experience, helping users identify your site among many open tabs.

Why SVG is Superior

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is resolution-independent. An SVG favicon looks crisp on a 1990s monitor and a 2025 Retina display alike. Additionally, SVG files support Dark Mode (using CSS media queries inside the SVG), which PNG/ICO format cannot do natively.

ICO vs. PNG vs. SVG

SVG: The modern standard. Lightweight and scalable.
PNG: The universal fallback. Needed for Apple Touch Icons (web clips).
ICO: The legacy format. Only strictly needed for IE11 support today, but still good to have as a fallback.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do I actually need?

For a modern site in 2025, you primarily need:

icon.svg (for modern browsers)
apple-touch-icon.png (180x180 for iOS home screen)
favicon.ico (32x32 for legacy support)
icon-512.png (512x512 for Android/PWA manifest)

How to add a favicon to HTML?

Put this code in your <head> tag:
<link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/icon.svg">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">

Does this support animated SVGs?

Yes! If your SVG contains CSS animations or SMIL, the .svg output will retain the animation. However, the converted PNG/ICO files will be static snapshots of the first frame.
