Complete guide to favicons for websites
What favicon sizes does a website need in 2025
Modern websites need multiple favicon sizes to cover all browsers and devices. The minimum set is: favicon.ico (16×16 and 32×32 embedded), 180×180 PNG for Apple Touch icon (iOS home screen), and 192×192 PNG for Android and PWA. For full coverage add: 32×32 PNG for standard browser tabs, 48×48 for Windows taskbar pinning, and 512×512 for high-resolution PWA display screens. The Favicon Generator creates all of these in one click from a single source image. Include the following HTML in your head: a link tag for favicon.ico, a link tag for apple-touch-icon.png, and a web app manifest for PWA icons.
What is an ICO file and why browsers use it
ICO is a container format that stores multiple image sizes in a single .ico file. When a browser requests a favicon, it downloads the .ico file and selects the appropriate size for its display context — 16×16 for tabs, 32×32 for taskbar pinning, 48×48 for bookmark icons. Using a single .ico file with embedded sizes is more efficient than serving separate PNG files for each size. ICO format was developed by Microsoft and is natively supported on Windows, where .ico files are used for application and shortcut icons. For web favicons, a favicon.ico at the site root is still the most universally supported approach — even browsers that primarily use PNG favicons will fall back to favicon.ico if the PNG links are missing.
How to add a favicon to your website
Place the favicon files in your site root or in a /static folder. Add the following tags inside your HTML head: a link tag with rel="icon" and type="image/x-icon" pointing to favicon.ico, link tags for the 16×16 and 32×32 PNG sizes, and a link tag with rel="apple-touch-icon" pointing to the 180×180 PNG for iOS devices. For PWAs, add a web app manifest with icon entries for 192×192 and 512×512 PNG files and reference it with a link rel="manifest" tag. The Favicon Generator outputs all required files and a ready-to-use HTML snippet with the correct link tags for each size.
Frequently asked questions
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars. Modern browsers expect a 32×32 or 16×16 pixel .ico file, plus larger PNG/WebP sizes for Apple Touch icons and PWAs.
Ceroxi supports converting PNG, JPG, WebP, and SVG files to ICO format. The Favicon Generator also accepts any of these and outputs a complete multi-size favicon package.
The standard favicon set includes 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 180×180 (Apple Touch), and 192×192 (Android/PWA). The Favicon Generator creates all these sizes automatically.
Yes. All favicon and ICO tools are completely free — no account, no watermarks, no usage limits.
No. Favicon generation and ICO conversion run entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
Use an SVG or a high-resolution PNG at 512×512 pixels minimum. SVG produces the sharpest results at all sizes because it scales without pixelation. A square source image works best — non-square images will be padded or cropped.
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs and bookmarks — typically 16×16 or 32×32 pixels in .ico or PNG format. An Apple Touch icon is the larger 180×180 PNG displayed when a user adds your website to their iOS home screen.
PWA icons are listed in the web app manifest file. The required sizes are 192×192 and 512×512 PNG. The Favicon Generator outputs both of these automatically. Add them to your manifest.json under the icons array with the correct size and type attributes.
Yes, as a source image. Upload a JPG to the Favicon Generator and it will create the correct ICO and PNG outputs. The final favicon files should be in ICO and PNG format — JPG does not support transparency and is not used for favicons directly.
Common causes: the favicon file path is wrong, the browser has cached the old favicon (clear cache and hard refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R), or the file format is incorrect. Ensure favicon.ico exists at your domain root and your HTML includes the correct link tags.
