FAQ
Favicon Generator — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start.
Which favicon sizes do I actually need?
At minimum: 16×16 (browser tab), 32×32 (high-DPI tabs), 180×180 (Apple touch icon), 192×192 and 512×512 (Android / PWA manifest). The tool emits all of these plus 48, 64, and 128 for completeness.
Can I use an emoji as my favicon?
Yes — switch to the Emoji tab and pick any emoji. It's rendered to canvas at every size, so you get crisp PNGs ready to upload to your /public folder.
Why a square / rounded / circle background?
Modern operating systems (iOS, Android) display favicons inside their own shape masks. Picking 'rounded' or 'circle' here lets you preview how the icon will look on a home screen versus a browser tab.
Where do I install the favicon files?
Put each PNG into your site's /public (or web root) folder, then paste the generated <link> tags into your <head>. The tool gives you the exact snippet to copy.
