What favicon sizes should I use?

Modern websites typically need 16x16 (browser tab), 32x32 (bookmark bar), and 48x48 (Windows site icons). This tool generates all 6 standard sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256) to ensure compatibility across all browsers and devices.

What image size should I upload?

Upload a square image at least 256x256 pixels for best results. Larger images (512x512 or 1024x1024) are even better. The tool will automatically resize your image to all required favicon dimensions.

Can I use this for app icons too?

This tool is optimized for website favicons. For mobile app icons, use our dedicated App Icon Resizer tool which generates platform-specific iOS and Android sizes.

Do I need all these sizes?

While not all sizes are strictly required, having multiple sizes ensures your favicon looks sharp on all devices and browsers. At minimum, include 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48. The ZIP download makes it easy to include all sizes.

How do I add favicons to my website?

After downloading, upload the favicon files to your website's root directory or /images folder. Add HTML link tags to your section: for each size.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No, all favicon generation happens entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your images never leave your device and are not uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy.

Standard Favicon Sizes

Best Practices

Use a square source image (1:1 aspect ratio)
Keep the design simple - small favicons lose detail
Test at 16x16 to ensure legibility at smallest size
Use high contrast colors for better visibility
PNG format is recommended for modern browsers
