What is a Favicon?

Definition: A favicon (short for favorite icon) is a small 16×16 or 32×32 pixel icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and history.

Why websites use favicons: They enhance brand recognition, improve user experience, and make your site stand out in bookmarks.

Browser compatibility: All modern browsers support favicons in ICO, PNG, or SVG formats.

Why Different Sizes Are Needed

Different devices and platforms require specific favicon sizes:

Apple Touch Icons: 180×180 for iOS home screen
Android Icons: 192×192 and 512×512 for splash screens and app icons
Windows Tiles: 70×70, 150×150, 310×150 for start menu pins
Manifest file: Declares all these icons so browsers know which to use

PNG vs ICO vs SVG

ICO: Traditional format, contains multiple sizes in one file, best for older browsers.

PNG: High quality with transparency, supported by all modern browsers, ideal for larger icons.

SVG: Vector format, scales infinitely, perfect for responsive designs and retina displays.

Our generator provides all three for maximum compatibility.
