Frequently Asked Questions
What is a favicon and why do I need one?
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, and shortcuts. Having a favicon makes your website look professional and helps users identify your site at a glance. Modern websites need multiple sizes: a .ico file for legacy browsers, PNG files for modern browsers, and Apple Touch Icon for iOS devices.
What image should I upload?
For best results, upload a square image (1:1 aspect ratio) that is at least 512ร512 pixels. The tool will automatically center-crop non-square images. Simple logos or icons with clear shapes work best โ intricate details may be lost at small sizes like 16ร16.
Can I create a logo from text instead of uploading an image?
Yes! Switch to "Text Logo" mode to type your brand initials or short name. You can customize the font, colors, background shape, and padding. The text is auto-sized to fit the icon perfectly. This is great for creating simple, clean favicons without any design software.
What sizes do I need for a PWA (Progressive Web App)?
For a PWA, you need at minimum 192ร192 and 512ร512 PNG icons referenced in your manifest.json. The Web Favicon preset includes these plus apple-touch-icon.png (180ร180) for iOS home screen icons. Our tool generates all of these and the manifest.json file for you.
How do I add the favicon to my website?
Upload the generated files to your website root directory, then add these tags to your HTML <head>:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" sizes="any">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json">
Is this tool free? Does it upload my images?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. All image processing happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images and logos never leave your device โ nothing is uploaded to any server.
