- Download the ZIP, upload the files to your site's root, and paste the HTML snippet in your page <head>.
Favicon sizes explained
A complete favicon set covers every context where your icon might appear. 16×16 and 32×32 are used in browser tabs and bookmarks. 48×48 is for Windows shortcuts. 180×180 is the Apple touch icon for iOS home screens. 192×192 and 512×512 are used by Android and PWA manifests.
The favicon.ico file is a legacy format that browsers look for at the root of your domain. It can contain multiple resolutions in one file. We include 16, 32, and 48px in the ICO for maximum compatibility.
For the best results, design your icon with tiny sizes in mind. Details that look great at 512×512 often become unreadable at 16×16. Strong shapes, high contrast, and minimal detail work best.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are generated?
A complete set: 16×16, 32×32, 48×48 (browser tabs), 180×180 (Apple touch icon), 192×192 and 512×512 (Android), plus a favicon.ico containing 16/32/48 sizes.
What is favicon.ico for?
The ICO file is a legacy multi-resolution container that older browsers look for at the root of your site. Modern browsers also use it as a fallback. It contains the 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48 PNGs bundled into one file.
Should I use a photo or an icon?
Favicons render at tiny sizes, so simple high-contrast shapes work best. A photo will be unrecognizable at 16×16. Use a logo, monogram, or simple symbol with a bold color.
How do I install these on my site?
Upload all the generated PNGs and the ICO file to the root of your website, then paste the provided HTML snippet into the <head> of every page.
