FAQ
Common questions about generating a favicon in the browser.
- What is a favicon?
- A favicon is the small icon that appears in a browser tab, bookmarks, and some search results. It is usually a square image in PNG, SVG, or ICO format.
- How do I add a favicon to my website?
- Download the zip, copy the files into your site, and paste the <link> tags from html.html into your page <head>. Update the paths if your files live in a different folder.
- Which sizes and formats should I download?
- 16×16 and 32×32 PNG plus SVG and ICO cover most browsers. Apple Touch (180) is for iOS home screens. The web manifest adds 192 and 512 PNGs for installable sites.
- Does this upload my images?
- No. The generator runs entirely in your browser. Designs, uploads, and history stay in local storage on your device and are not sent to a server.
- Can I use a Font Awesome icon or my own image?
- Yes. Choose Text, Icon, or Image as the visual. Icons are Font Awesome 4. Uploads accept PNG, JPEG, or WebP, with scale, position, and opacity controls.
- Is this the same as the Chrome extension?
- Same features: text, icon, or image, backgrounds, borders, and a zip with PNG, SVG, ICO, Apple Touch, and HTML. The website is the full-page version; the extension is a popup on any tab.
