Frequently Asked Questions
What favicon sizes do I actually need?
A 32 × 32 PNG covers desktop browsers, 180 × 180 covers Apple touch icons, and 192 × 192 plus 512 × 512 cover Android and PWA installs. The 16 × 16 is still used in some bookmark lists. This tool generates all of them.
Do I still need an .ico file?
Rarely. Every current browser accepts PNG favicons. An ICO at /favicon.ico is only needed for very old Internet Explorer versions and some feed readers that probe that exact path.
What image should I start from?
A square PNG or SVG export at 512 × 512 or larger, with a simple bold mark. Fine detail and small text vanish at 16 pixels — test the preview before committing.
Where do the files go on my site?
Anywhere you can serve static files, commonly the site root or an /icons folder. What matters is that the paths in your link tags and manifest match where you put them.
Your image is read straight from your device by the browser and processed on a canvas in this page. It is never uploaded, stored or sent anywhere — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
