Frequently Asked Questions

What favicon sizes do I need?
At minimum: favicon.ico, 32x32 PNG, 180x180 Apple Touch Icon, and 192x192/512x512 for Android/PWA. Our 'Essential' preset includes all required sizes automatically.
Why do I need an ICO file?
The ICO format contains multiple sizes in one file and is supported by all browsers including legacy versions. It's the traditional favicon format ensuring maximum compatibility.
Should my favicon have a transparent background?
For browser tabs, transparency works well. For iOS and Android home screens, consider a solid or gradient background as icons appear on various wallpapers.
Does my source image need to be square?
Yes, favicons are always square. If your image isn't square, use our padding and scale controls to fit it perfectly. For best results, start with a square image.
Are my images safe and private?
100% private. All processing uses browser-native Canvas and Blob APIs. Your images never leave your device — we don't upload, store, or transmit any data.
Which frameworks are supported?
We provide code snippets for 35+ platforms including React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, Svelte, WordPress, Shopify, Laravel, Django, Ruby on Rails, and many more.
What about Progressive Web Apps?
Our generator creates all required PWA icons including maskable variants, plus a complete site.webmanifest file with proper icon declarations and theme colors.

Understanding Favicons

Favicons are small icons that represent your website across browsers, bookmarks, home screens, and app launchers. A complete favicon set ensures your brand looks professional and recognizable everywhere users encounter your site.

The ICO Format

The ICO format bundles multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48) into one file. While modern browsers support PNG favicons, ICO remains essential for maximum compatibility with older browsers and certain desktop applications.

PNG Icons

Modern browsers prefer PNG favicons for their crisp quality and transparency support. Each size serves a purpose: 16px and 32px for browser tabs, 180px for iOS, and 192px/512px for Android and PWAs.

Web App Manifest

The site.webmanifest file defines how your site appears when installed as a PWA. It specifies icons, theme colors, display mode, and other metadata that browsers use to create an app-like experience.

SVG Favicons

Safari's pinned tab feature uses a monochrome SVG icon. Modern browsers are also beginning to support SVG favicons directly, offering infinite scalability and smaller file sizes.
