Questions

Is my image uploaded?

No. It is processed on a canvas inside your browser and never sent or stored.

Which sizes do I need?

Browser tabs use 16 and 32 px; Windows uses 48 px and up. 16, 32, 48 and 256 cover most needs.

What is inside the ICO?

Each size as a PNG, which current browsers and Windows Vista and later read.

How do I add it to HTML?

Most browsers find /favicon.ico on their own; to be explicit, use <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico">.
