❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is a favicon?

A favicon (favorite icon) is a small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and history. Modern websites also need icons for iOS home screens, Android splash screens, and Windows tiles.

Which sizes do I really need?

Minimum: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 (for older browsers). For modern devices: 180x180 (Apple), 192x192 (Android), and 512x512 (PWA). Our generator selects the most common ones by default.

Can I generate a .ico file?

This tool generates PNG files – the recommended format today. You can convert multiple PNGs into a single .ico using online converters if you need legacy support. We include the code for PNG favicons which works in all modern browsers.

What image should I upload?

A square image, preferably at least 512x512 pixels. PNG with transparency works best. Simple logos or symbols are more recognizable at small sizes.
