Hi there:

While you can upload .png files, .icon files are not allowed. You can see the full list of items you can upload to your Media Library here:

I hope that clarifies things!

Are you likely to allow .icon images in next version of wordpress?

Hi @ivailo95, it’s less about the WordPress version than the hosting environment. We have security features that specify what types of files can be uploaded here on our servers.

Can you share where you’re hoping to use the .icon file on your site? Maybe we can help with that. For example, if you’re trying to add a favicon, here’s how:

Add it as a PNG and we’ll take care of the rest.
