Frequently Asked Questions
What is a favicon and why do I need one?
A favicon is a small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results. It helps users identify your website and improves brand recognition and professionalism.
What image formats can I upload?
You can upload common image formats including PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, and SVG. For best results, use a square image with high resolution (at least 512x512 pixels).
What sizes are included in the favicon package?
The generator creates favicons in multiple sizes: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 72x72, 96x96, 128x128, 144x144, 152x152, 192x192, 256x256, and 512x512 pixels to cover all devices and platforms.
Do I need to add a background color?
Adding a background color is recommended if your image has transparency. The background ensures your favicon looks good on all browser themes and operating systems.
How do I use the generated favicons on my website?
Download the ZIP package and extract it to your website's root directory. Copy the provided HTML code into your website's <head> section to link all the favicon files.
What is the web app manifest file?
The manifest.json file contains metadata for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). It defines how your website appears when installed as an app on mobile devices and desktop.
Can I preview the favicons before downloading?
Yes! After generating, you can see previews of all favicon sizes to ensure they look good at different scales before downloading the complete package.
What is the difference between ICO and PNG formats?
ICO is the traditional favicon format supported by older browsers, while PNG offers better compression and quality. Modern browsers support both, so including both ensures maximum compatibility.
How often should I update my favicon?
Update your favicon when you rebrand, change your logo, or want to refresh your website's appearance. Remember that browsers cache favicons, so changes might take time to appear for existing visitors.
Are there any size requirements for the source image?
While there's no strict minimum, we recommend using a square image of at least 512x512 pixels for the best quality across all generated sizes. Larger source images produce better-looking small favicons.
