About this tool
Which favicon files does a website need?
Browsers show the favicon in tabs, bookmarks and history, phones use larger icons when someone adds your site to their home screen, and search engines can show your favicon next to your listing in results. Each place expects a slightly different size.
A modern set covers almost everything: a favicon.ico containing 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions for older browsers, PNG favicons, a 180 × 180 Apple touch icon, 192 and 512 pixel Android icons, and a web manifest that ties them together. This generator creates all of them, plus the HTML tags.
