Convert SVG to ICO

A brand's logo lives as an SVG and the site needs a proper multi-size favicon.ico rather than a single scaled bitmap.

    What actually changes

    SVG and ICO are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    The vector is rendered separately at each icon size, so every slot is drawn at its native resolution instead of being downsampled from one large raster. Small sizes come out noticeably crisper.

    Worth knowing first

    Rendering at 16 pixels exposes how much detail the logo really has. Hairline strokes disappear entirely below about 24 pixels. Most brands ship a deliberately simplified glyph for the small slots rather than the full lockup.

    Questions

    SVG to ICO, answered

    Can I just use the SVG as my favicon?

    Modern browsers accept an SVG favicon through a link tag, and it is the better option for them. The ICO is still worth shipping for older browsers and the default root request.

    Are the fonts in my SVG a problem?

    Yes. Convert text to outlines first, or the renderer substitutes whatever font it can find.
