Favicon generator: common questions
What sizes does a website need?
favicon.ico covers browser tabs, a 180 pixel apple-touch-icon covers iPhones and iPads, and 192 and 512 pixel PNGs are for installed web apps, listed in your site's web app manifest. This tool makes all of these files; it doesn't write the manifest.
Is the .ico file real, or a renamed PNG?
It's a real ICO file containing 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions, stored in the PNG form that current browsers read.
My logo is unreadable at 16 pixels. What can I do?
Use just the mark or the first letter rather than the whole logo. Fine detail and small text disappear at that size.
