Frequently Asked Questions

What is a favicon?

A favicon is the small icon browsers show in the tab, bookmarks and address bar. It is linked with <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico"> in your page's head.

Which sizes should I generate?

32px is the modern baseline for browser tabs. Add 16px for legacy browsers, 180px as an apple-touch-icon for iPhones, and 512px for some social previews.

Can I use an emoji as a favicon?

Yes — emoji render as colorful glyphs in the browser. Keep the canvas transparent background if you want the icon to sit directly on the tab background.

Is an ICO file required?

No. Modern browsers accept PNG favicons; ICO is only needed for very old versions of Internet Explorer. This generator provides both.

Practical Example

Say you want a tab favicon for your site. Type the letter O, pick a blue background (#2563eb) and white text, then click Generate. You get PNG downloads at 16, 32, 48 and 64 px plus a 64px favicon.ico. Add the 32px PNG to your page head with <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="favicon-32.png"> so browsers load a crisp icon on both standard and high-DPI screens.

16px covers old bookmark bars and legacy browsers.
32px is the modern baseline for browser tabs.
For iOS home screens, generate a 180px PNG and link it as an apple-touch-icon.
