FAQ

			
Frequently asked questions

		


		

							

					
						What is a favicon?
											
					

						
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and mobile home screens. It makes your site instantly recognisable.

					

				

							

					
						How do I generate a favicon?
											
					

						
Upload a square image or switch to the text mode, pick colours and a shape, then download the PNG sizes you need or a ready-to-use favicon.ico. Everything is generated in your browser.

					

				

							

					
						Which favicon sizes should I generate?
											
					

						
At minimum generate 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs, 180×180 for the Apple touch icon, and 192×192 and 512×512 for the web app manifest.

Yes. Enter one or two letters, choose a font weight and colours, and the generator renders a crisp favicon for every size.

					

				

							

					
						Do I need to upload my image to a server?
											
					

						
No. The favicon generator uses the Canvas API, so your image never leaves your device.
