favicon.ico (a real multi-resolution icon containing 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48 versions), favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, apple-touch-icon.png (180×180), android-chrome-192x192.png, android-chrome-512x512.png, site.webmanifest, and a copy-ready HTML snippet.

Where do these files need to go on my website?

All of them belong at your site's root (e.g. yoursite.com/favicon.ico), and the HTML snippet's paths assume exactly that. If your site is built with a framework that serves a /public folder at the root, that's typically where these files go.

What image should I upload?

A square (or near-square) logo or icon graphic, at least 260×260 pixels, in PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG format. Simple, high-contrast marks tend to read better at 16×16 than detailed illustrations or text-heavy logos.

What happens if I upload a non-square image?

It's centre-cropped to a square for every generated size, not stretched or squashed — this keeps the icon looking correct rather than distorted, though it means the edges of a wide or tall source image will be trimmed off.

Why is there a minimum image size requirement?

The largest generated icon is 512×512 (for Android/PWA); starting from a source image smaller than roughly 260×260 means that icon would need significant upscaling, producing a soft or blurry result. SVG sources skip this check since vector art scales cleanly to any size.

Do I need to edit the site.webmanifest file afterward?

The manifest ships with a placeholder site name ('My Website') and default colors — open it in a text editor and update the name, short_name, theme_color, and background_color fields to match your actual site before deploying.

Is the generated favicon.ico a real ICO file, not just a renamed PNG?

Yes. It's a genuine multi-resolution Windows icon file containing three separate embedded image sizes (16×16, 32×32, 48×48), built with a dedicated icon-encoding library — the same file format browsers and operating systems have expected since favicons were first introduced.

Is my image uploaded and stored anywhere?

Your image is processed in memory to generate the favicon package and is immediately discarded after the response is sent — nothing is saved to disk.

Why Use Favicon Generator — Create favicon.ico, PNGs & Manifest?

A 'favicon' isn't really one file anymore — modern browsers, iOS home screens, and Android/PWA installs each expect their own specific icon size and format, and getting the full set right by hand means resizing the same logo six or seven different ways and hand-writing the exact HTML tags and manifest JSON each platform expects. Get any of it wrong — a missing size, a stretched non-square crop, a malformed favicon.ico — and the result is a blurry or missing icon in a browser tab, home screen, or app switcher, often the very first thing a visitor notices about a site. This tool generates the entire standard package in one pass from a single source image: every PNG is centre-cropped to a perfect square rather than stretched, favicon.ico is a genuine multi-resolution icon file (not just a renamed PNG), and the accompanying site.webmanifest and HTML snippet follow the same convention used across the web today, so the output can be dropped straight into a site's root with no further editing beyond customizing the manifest's site name.
