Yes, favicons typically need to follow certain formats and dimensions to display correctly across all browsers. While you mentioned trying to upload a 64x64 .ico file, most browsers expect favicons to be 16x16 pixels, especially for legacy support.
Here are some key guidelines for favicon dimensions and formats:
- Standard Dimensions:
16x16 pixels – Standard for browser tabs.
32x32 pixels – Sometimes used by newer browsers or when a higher resolution is needed.
48x48 pixels – Common for shortcut icons.
64x64 pixels – Not commonly used, but some platforms may accept it for higher resolutions. - Formats:
.ico – The most widely supported format across browsers.
.png – Also supported by modern browsers, especially for higher resolutions and transparency. - Other Considerations:
Some browsers may require the favicon to be named "favicon.ico" and placed in the root directory of your website.
