About Favicons
Favicons are small icons that represent your website in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens. Modern websites need multiple sizes to look sharp on different devices and resolutions.
For best results, start with a simple, recognizable design at high resolution. Complex logos may not be legible at 16×16 pixels. Consider creating a simplified version specifically for favicon use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do I need for favicons?
Common sizes include 16x16 and 32x32 for browsers, 180x180 for Apple devices, and 192x192/512x512 for Android. This tool generates all recommended sizes automatically.
What image format should I use as the source?
Use a high-resolution square image (at least 512x512 pixels) in PNG format with a transparent background if needed. JPG and WebP images also work but don't support transparency.
Do I need an ICO file?
ICO files are still useful for legacy browser support and Windows shortcuts. However, most modern browsers support PNG favicons directly. This tool generates both formats.
What is an Apple Touch Icon?
Apple Touch Icons appear when users save your website to their home screen on iOS devices. The recommended size is 180x180 pixels. Without one, Safari will use a screenshot of your page.
How do I add favicons to my website?
Add link tags in your HTML head section for each favicon size. This tool provides ready-to-use HTML code that you can copy and paste into your website.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No, all favicon generation happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.
