Frequently Asked Questions
Can BMP transparency be preserved in favicons?
Yes, if your BMP is 32-bit with an alpha channel, transparency is preserved in the PNG favicon outputs.
Will my BMP favicon be smaller than the original?
Yes, significantly smaller. BMP is uncompressed while the favicon outputs use efficient PNG compression.
Is BMP a good source format for favicons?
BMP works fine, but PNG or SVG are better choices because they support transparency and are more widely used.
What if my BMP is not square?
Non-square BMPs are fitted into a square canvas. For best results, crop your BMP to square dimensions before conversion.
Are there any BMP limitations for favicon conversion?
Very old BMP formats (1-bit, 4-bit) may not convert correctly. Use 24-bit or 32-bit BMP for reliable results.
