My animated favicon does not show animation

I am using these

<link rel="icon" href="/images/favicon.png" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

I can see favicon in my address bar but no animation? What else am I supposed to do?

Solution

  • Get rid of the first line pointing to the favicon.png so that you have only

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

    And ensure that the favicon.ico is a real animated favicon and not something renamed. You can use http://www.animatedfavicon.com or http://www.favicongenerator.org to convert an animated .gif file to an animated .ico file.
