Frequently Asked Questions

What favicon sizes do I need for a website?

The minimum modern set is: 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs and bookmarks, 48×48 for Windows shortcut icons, 180×180 for iOS home screen (apple-touch-icon), and 192×192 for Android PWA icons. A 512×512 PNG is also recommended for PWA splash screens. This tool exports all five standard sizes.

How do I add a favicon to my website HTML?

Place these tags inside your : . The tool generates and copies these exact tags for you.

Can I make a favicon from an emoji?

Yes. In Text / Emoji mode, paste a single emoji (e.g., 🚀) into the character input field. The tool renders it centered on a colored, optionally rounded-corner background at all five sizes. Emoji rendering depends on the operating system’s font, so preview across platforms if visual consistency matters.

Is my uploaded image processed privately on this tool?

Yes. The image is loaded directly into the browser using the FileReader API and drawn onto an HTML Canvas element. No image data is uploaded to any server — all resizing and cropping happens client-side, so sensitive or proprietary images stay on your device.

What is a limitation of the favicon generator?

The tool does not generate .ico files, which bundle multiple resolutions in a single binary. Some legacy browsers (Internet Explorer 11 and below) only recognize favicon.ico placed in the site root. Modern browsers fully support separate PNG files via link tags, so .ico is rarely needed today unless you must support very old environments.
