Frequently Asked Questions

What favicon sizes do I need for my website?

The essential sizes are: 16x16 (browser tab icon), 32x32 (taskbar shortcut), 48x48 (Windows site icon), 180x180 (Apple touch icon), and 192x192 / 512x512 (Android/PWA icons). This tool generates all common sizes at once. Place the .ico file in your site root and add appropriate <link> tags in your HTML <head>.

What is the difference between .ico and .png favicons?

.ico is the traditional favicon format that can contain multiple sizes in a single file (e.g., 16x16 + 32x32 + 48x48). PNG favicons are single-size images specified via <link> tags. Modern browsers support both, but .ico provides the best backward compatibility. Use .ico for the main favicon and PNG for specific sizes like Apple touch icons.

Why does my favicon look blurry?

Favicons are displayed at very small sizes (16x16 or 32x32 pixels), so complex images with fine details will look blurry. Use simple, bold designs with high contrast. Start with a square image (at least 512x512 for source) and let the tool scale it down. SVG sources produce the crispest results at all sizes.
