Favicon pixelated in IE

Question

I created a 16x16px icon for a website, but I get complaints that IE is pixelating it. should i have a larger size? Is this their way to use multiple sizes? What is the practice?

Answer 1

Just use 32x32 alone, other browsers will resize it by themselves.

Answer 2

I don’t understand what “IE pixelates it” means.

In most places IE shows FavIcons @ 16x16, so sending a 16x16 icon will not break anything.
