All current browsers support PNG.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoWill it look good on a browser tab? Seems like the res would be too low.
- deathanatos 5y agoIt's a vector graphic; its resolution is whatever you render it at. "S" as in, "Scalable". Sure, there is some nuance in that you wouldn't want some fine detail to get lost at the displayed size, but presumably you know you're making a favicon when you do so. Or, you're the NFL & you're going to supply a 4 megapixel image IDK.

On the other hand, SVG is really not designed for the fine pixel control you want to make the icon look good at smaller sizes as it does not have the equivalent of font hinting.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoNot at very low resolutions, <= 32 px. See sibling comment.
- est 5y agoIts such a shame that PNG does not support packing multiple dimensions into one file like .ico formats actually do.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoIt can be done with MNG. There just has never been a tooling ecosystem that supports it for non-animated applications.
- amelius 5y agoDon't hold your breath. Safari is the new IE6.
