Why choose 256x256 pixels?

256px is a standard size for app icons and small avatars. It's large enough to be clear but small enough for fast loading and minimal storage space.

Is 256px good for social media?

For most social media platforms, 512px is recommended for profile pictures. However, 256px works well for thumbnails and smaller displays.

Will 256px look blurry?

Not if you start with a high-resolution source image (at least 500x500 pixels). The quality depends on your original image.

What format is best for 256px icons?

PNG with transparent background is ideal for icons. It maintains quality and allows the icon to blend with any background color.
