Tips for a good quality favicon:
- Make sure your favicon looks good at a resolution of 16x16px as Google rescales favicons to that size. The Wix Photo Studio can help you edit image.
- Use a .jpg or .png image file.
- Your favicon should be a 1:1 image ratio (a square shape). Google recommends a multiple of 48px square, e.g. 48x48px, 96x96px, 144x144px etc.
