PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG. Square works best, anything else is cropped from the centre.
Which favicon sizes you actually need
Four files, and one of them is optional. A 32 pixel favicon.ico, a 180 pixel
apple-touch-icon.png, and 192 and 512 pixel icons for the manifest.
Most generators still hand you a zip from another era: Microsoft tile images, a
browserconfig.xml, and a dozen Apple sizes aimed at iOS versions nobody has run
in years. You paste sixteen lines into your <head> and hope.
The set a browser actually looks for in 2026 is short:
| File | Size | What reads it |
|---|---|---|
favicon.ico | 32 | The default request every browser makes |
apple-touch-icon.png | 180 | iOS home screens |
icon-192.png | 192 | Web manifest, Android |
icon-512.png | 512 | Web manifest, splash screens |
Plus your original SVG if you have one, which stays sharp at any size and is the best icon a modern browser can be given.
That is four link tags, and it is the whole job.
Two favicon mistakes that break on real devices
Dropping favicon.ico. It feels obsolete, so people ship only PNGs. But a
browser with no matching icon link still requests /favicon.ico from your root,
and so do crawlers and feed readers. Skip it and you serve a 404 on every one of
those. It costs one file.
Transparency on the Apple icon. iOS does not support it and paints transparent pixels black, which is why a clean logo turns into a dark square on someone's home screen. This tool always fills the background on that file, even when you leave the option off.
Why favicon quality depends on how it is resized
Scaling a 2000 pixel logo straight down to 32 pixels in one step samples too few source pixels and comes out crunchy, which on something this small is the entire product. Each size here is produced by halving repeatedly until it is close to the target, then drawing once more. It is slower by a few milliseconds and visibly better.
Already have icons and want to know what is missing? The favicon checker reads any site and reports it.
Nothing is uploaded. Every file is drawn on a canvas in your browser, which is why it is instant and why your logo never touches a server.
