Frequently Asked Questions
What image should I use as a source?
Use a square image (1:1 aspect ratio) with a simple, recognizable design. The favicon will be displayed at very small sizes (16×16 pixels), so avoid complex details. A logo or icon works best.
What sizes are generated?
The tool generates favicons at 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, and 192×192 pixels. The 16×16 and 32×32 sizes are used by browsers in tabs and bookmarks. The 192×192 size is used for Android home screen icons.
How do I add the favicon to my website?
Place the favicon files in your website's root directory and add link tags to your HTML head: <link rel='icon' type='image/png' sizes='32x32' href='/favicon-32x32.png'>.
