Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes should a favicon be?▼

Modern browsers need at minimum a 16×16 and 32×32 PNG. For Apple devices, provide a 180×180 apple-touch-icon. For PWA/Android, include 192×192 and 512×512. This tool exports all standard sizes at once.

What format should a favicon use?▼

ICO format is legacy but still needed for IE11. Modern browsers support PNG, SVG, and WebP. The safest approach is to provide a PNG favicon at multiple sizes and optionally an SVG for scalability. For simplicity, PNG at 32×32 covers most cases.

How do I add a favicon to my website?▼

Place the PNG files in your project root or a /public directory, then add link tags in your HTML <head>: <link rel='icon' type='image/png' sizes='32x32' href='/favicon-32.png'>. Use the HTML tags section in this tool to copy ready-to-paste code.

What is an apple-touch-icon?▼

The apple-touch-icon is the image displayed when a user adds your website to their iOS home screen. It should be 180×180 pixels (PNG, no transparency). Without it, Apple will use a screenshot of your page instead.

Can I use an emoji as a favicon?▼

Yes! Modern browsers support SVG favicons with embedded emoji: <link rel='icon' href='data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 100 100"><text y=".9em" font-size="90">🚀</text></svg>'>. This generator also accepts emoji as text input and renders them to PNG.
