Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do I need for a modern favicon?+

favicon.ico (16+32px multi-size), apple-touch-icon.png (180x180), android-chrome-192x192.png, android-chrome-512x512.png, and optionally favicon.svg for modern browsers. This tool generates all of them.

What is the best format for a favicon in 2024?+

SVG favicons are the modern choice - they scale perfectly and support dark mode via CSS media queries inside the SVG. Provide a fallback .ico for older browsers with explicit link tags for both formats.

How do I add a favicon to my website?+

Place favicon.ico in your site root - most browsers find it automatically. Add explicit link tags in your head element for other formats. This tool generates the exact HTML tags to paste.

Can I create a favicon from text or initials?+

Yes. Enter 1-2 initials, choose a background colour and font, and the tool generates a favicon matching your brand - no image file needed.
