Tips for Best Results

  • Use a square image for best results
  • Start with at least 512x512 pixels
  • Use simple designs that are recognisable at small sizes
  • PNG format with transparency works best
  • Test your favicon at small sizes before finalising

Which Favicon Sizes You Actually Need

Upload a square image, ideally at least 512 by 512 pixels, and the generator produces every common size plus the HTML to paste into your page's head. The image is resized in your browser, so it isn't uploaded anywhere.

  • favicon.ico (16 and 32px): browser tabs and bookmarks. Put it at the root of your site.
  • 180px apple-touch-icon: used when someone adds your site to an iPhone or iPad home screen.
  • 192px and 512px: Android home screens and progressive web app manifests.

Tips for a favicon that reads well

  • Keep it simple. At 16 pixels, detail disappears, so a single letter or bold shape works best.
  • Use a transparent PNG as the source if you want it to sit well on both light and dark browser themes.
  • After changing a favicon, browsers can keep the old one cached for a while. A hard refresh or private window shows the new one.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a favicon be?

Start from a square image of at least 512 by 512 pixels. From that, generate 16px and 32px for browser tabs, 180px for Apple devices, and 192px and 512px for Android and web app manifests.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The favicons are created in your browser and downloaded as a zip file.

Why is my old favicon still showing?

Browsers cache favicons aggressively. Try a hard refresh, a private window, or give the file a new name or version number.
