Frequently asked questions
What is a favicon?
It is the small icon shown in the browser tab next to the page title, plus in bookmarks and history. A good favicon makes your site recognisable at a glance among dozens of tabs.
Which sizes should I generate?
16×16 and 32×32 for the tab and bookmarks, 180×180 for the iOS home-screen icon (apple-touch-icon), and 512×512 for the PWA manifest. This tool exports those sizes directly as PNG.
How do I add it to my site?
Put the tag in the <head>: <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32.png">. Add an apple-touch-icon line for iOS and declare the icons in your manifest for PWAs.
Can I use an emoji?
Yes: paste any emoji into the text field and it is drawn on the chosen background. It is a fast way to get a colorful, expressive favicon without any drawing software.
