Hi,

It's the browser, that needs to work with favicons.

The .ico file format is an image format, that can contain multiple small 
icons. see Wikipedia link <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_(file_format)>.

Browser favicons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon> (most of them) are 
16x16 in original size. If the .ico file contains bigger images, they are 
automatically down-scaled. Down-scaling can use various algorithms, with 
varying results. ..

So an icon that looks great at 256x256px or bigger, will probably be crap 
at 16x16 if auto down-scaled. So if you want to have good looking favicons 
you'll probably want to make them by hand. 

See: https://www.favicon.cc/ 

If you want to use several images in 1 icon file, you can use a mechanism 
described here: https://superuser.com/a/683203

Incscape can use SVGs to export pixel images and imageMagic can be used to 
"pack" them into an .ico file. 

have fun!
