Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are included in the generated favicon package?

The generator creates 16x16 (browser tabs), 32x32 (bookmarks), 48x48 (desktop shortcuts), 180x180 (iOS Apple Touch Icon), and 192x192 & 512x512 (Android and Progressive Web App manifests).

Does this tool preserve transparent PNG backgrounds?

Yes, full 32-bit alpha-channel transparency is preserved across all output icon files without converting to ugly white or black backgrounds.

How do I add the generated favicon to my HTML website?

Upload the generated favicon files to your website's root directory and copy the one-click HTML <link> snippet provided directly into your HTML <head> section.

Why are my old favicons still showing in my browser?

Web browsers aggressively cache favicons. To see your new favicon immediately, hard-refresh with Ctrl+F5 (or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) or append a version query string such as '/favicon.ico?v=2'.

Are my brand logos uploaded to any server?

Never. All icon rescaling and rendering occurs strictly in your browser memory using HTML5 Canvas. Your proprietary brand marks never travel over the network.

What is the best source image resolution to upload?

A high-resolution square PNG or SVG vector of at least 512x512 pixels ensures maximum sharpness on retina displays and mobile home screens.
