What gets generated
- favicon.ico — multi-size ICO with 16, 32, 48, 64 px variants.
- favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, favicon-96x96.png — modern browser pickups.
- apple-touch-icon.png — 180×180 for iOS home-screen.
- android-chrome-192x192.png, 512×512 — for Android home-screen.
- site.webmanifest — pre-filled for PWA support.
- browserconfig.xml — for Microsoft tile configuration.
- HTML snippet — the <link> tags to paste in your <head>.
Why so many files
Different browsers, OSes, and contexts (browser tab, bookmarks, home screen, app launchers, taskbars) prefer different sizes and formats. Modern best practice is to provide a handful covering all common cases. Older browsers fall back to favicon.ico; modern ones pick the optimal PNG.
Source recommendations
- 512×512 or larger. We downscale; we never upscale.
- Square. Non-square inputs get padded.
- Simple silhouette. Favicons display at 16×16 — complex logos lose detail.
- Transparent background or solid colour.
Need full app icons too?
For iOS / Android app icons (not just web favicons), use our App Icon Generator instead — it generates all the sizes XCode and Android Studio want.
Frequently asked questions
Does the favicon.ico work in old IE?
Yes — multi-size ICO with 16/32/48/64 covers IE6+ and modern browsers.
What's apple-touch-icon for?
When iOS users add your site to their home screen, this is the icon used. 180×180 is the modern size.
Do I need the manifest?
For PWA support: yes. For a simple website: optional but recommended.
What format is best for the source?
PNG with transparency. SVG also works (we rasterise).
Will the favicon look fuzzy at 16×16?
Detailed logos do. Simplify or use a single bold letter for tiny sizes.
Where do the files go on my server?
All in your site's web root. The HTML snippet references them as /favicon.ico, /favicon-32x32.png, etc.
Bulk generation for multiple sites?
Premium: yes.
Are uploads private?
Yes — deleted within 24 hours.
