What formats are generated?
We generate a standard `favicon.ico` (containing 16x16, 32x32, 48x48) for desktop browsers, `apple-touch-icon.png` (180x180) for iOS devices, and Android Chrome icons (192x192, 512x512).
Is it free?
Yes, this tool is 100% free and processes your images locally in your browser for privacy.
Why do I need a favicon?
Favicons help users identify your website in browser tabs, bookmarks, and history. They are essential for a professional web presence.
What image size should I upload?
We recommend uploading a high-quality square image, at least 512x512 pixels, for the best results across all devices.
Can I use transparent images?
Yes, PNG images with transparency are fully supported and recommended for favicons.
Why does my favicon not show up immediately?
Browsers cache favicons aggressively. You may need to clear your browser cache or force-refresh (Ctrl+F5) to see the new icon.
Do I need to include all the generated files?
For best compatibility across all devices (Android, iOS, Windows tiles), it is recommended to upload all generated files to your server.
Where should I put the favicon files?
Place them in the root directory of your website (e.g., `www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico`) for automatic detection by browsers.
Can I preview the favicon?
Yes, the Generated Favicons section shows you exactly how the icons will look on different backgrounds.
Is the ICO format still necessary?
Yes, `favicon.ico` is still the most reliable format for legacy browser support, although modern browsers also support PNG favicons.
