: What are the most commonly used web picture/image/icon sizes? Similar to what already exists regarding web banner sizes, is it possible to find the list of most commonly used picture/image/icon

@Kristi941

There is no standard as icons can be of any size depending on how they're going to be used. The most common sizes I've seen based on icon sets I have downloaded are:


12x12
16x16
32x32
64x64
128x128
256x256


Do you see a pattern here?

update

There are no default image sizes for websites as a whole. Dimensions are dictated by how the website needs to use them. When size does matter is when you are using a third party service and have to conform to their standards. Examples would be gravatar sizes. But if someone wanted to use different sizes for their own blog engine they could certainly do so and wouldn't break anything or cause confusion elsewhere.

So use whatever sizes you need to use and only worry about what someone else is doing when you have to interface with their API or any form of interface that has size requirements.
