Troubleshooting

Fix common issues with previews, exports, fonts, and sharing.

Troubleshooting

Export Fails

  • Try again after a refresh.
  • If your design uses a font, try a different font (font loading/outlining can fail on edge cases).

Download Doesn’t Appear

  • Check your browser’s downloads list.
  • Disable “Ask where to save each file” temporarily if downloads are being blocked.

Favicon Doesn’t Update

Browsers cache favicons aggressively.

Try:

  1. Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R / ⌘Shift+R
  2. Private window
  3. Cache-busting: favicon.svg?v=2

Font Looks Wrong

  • If changing the font has no effect, the font likely didn’t load and the browser is using a fallback.
  • Try another font or refresh.

“Free plan limit reached”

The free plan allows up to 5 saved designs. Delete an older design or upgrade.

If iconconfig is invalid, Favycons loads defaults and shows a warning.
