Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser using Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.

What format should my source image be?

Use a square PNG with a minimum size of 512×512 pixels for best results. SVG is also accepted. The tool works with JPEG, WebP and GIF but PNG with transparency is recommended.

Can I generate a favicon.ico with multiple sizes?

Yes. The generator produces a multi-size favicon.ico that embeds PNG data for 16×16, 32×32 and 48×48 — the standard for browser tab icons on all platforms.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes does a favicon need to be?

The minimum is 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs. Add 180×180 for Apple Touch Icon, 192×192 and 512×512 for Android/PWA. For maximum compatibility across all platforms, use the full set this tool generates.

What is a site.webmanifest?

A site.webmanifest is a JSON file that describes your web app for browsers — app name, icons, theme color, display mode. It is required for PWA (Progressive Web App) support and for the "Add to Home Screen" prompt on Android.

Is my image sent to a server?

No. The tool uses the browser's Canvas API to resize images. Nothing ever leaves your device — not even temporarily.

My source image is not square. What happens?

The image is drawn on a square canvas; if it's not square, it will be stretched. Crop it to a 1:1 ratio before uploading for best results. 512×512 or larger is recommended.

What is the difference between favicon.ico and favicon.png?

favicon.ico is a legacy format supported everywhere, including older browsers and Windows taskbar. Modern browsers also support favicon.png. The best practice is to serve both: a favicon.ico in the root for old browsers and <link rel="icon"> tags pointing to PNGs.
