Pro Tips

  • Use a simple, recognizable icon — favicons are displayed very small (16x16px).
  • The ICO format contains multiple sizes (16, 32, 48) in one file for legacy browser support.
  • Include the 512x512 PNG for PWA manifest and the 180x180 for Apple Touch Icon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do I need?

At minimum: 32x32 (browsers), 180x180 (Apple), 192x192 and 512x512 (PWA). The ICO file handles legacy browsers.

Can I use a photo as a favicon?

Technically yes, but it won't look good at 16x16 pixels. Simple icons, logos, or single letters work best.

Do I need an ICO file?

For maximum compatibility, yes. Modern browsers use PNG favicons, but the ICO format is still the most widely supported.
