Hello,

I create favicons with generators but the transparency never works, what should I do, what base format should I use for the image? gif, png? Which generator?

Thanks!

    you need to save the file created in png (with transparency) in .ico format

    the 'www' is also meant for communication, sharing, and exchanging, right?
    thank you for being polite enough to respond to those who are trying to help you

      which software do you work with?
      otherwise, it's also doable online ;)

      paint.net apparently I can't create an ico, if I add the extension will it work?

      no ... in that case you create a png with transparency and you simply modify the link code ...
      favico.ico will become favico.png for example ...
      it works ;)

      Just put the favicon in png and add the following code: 
      <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />

      Correct it if the file name is different.
      There is no requirement to use a .ico file.
