Frequently asked questions

Which formats are in the ZIP?

favicon.ico (multi-resolution 16/32/48), favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, apple-touch-icon.png (180×180), android-chrome-192x192.png, android-chrome-512x512.png, site.webmanifest and a README.txt with the HTML head snippet.

Do I still need a favicon.ico in 2026?

For modern browsers, technically no, they pick up PNG or SVG directly from your HTML <link> tags. But many crawlers (Google, Bing, Slack previews, Discord) still look for /favicon.ico in the root first. So yes, ship it for maximum compatibility, it costs nothing and prevents unexplained broken icons in odd places.

My image isn't square, what does the tool do?

Center-crop: we cut the centre out into a square and scale that to all sizes. For logos that are inherently rectangular (e.g. a wordmark) you're better off squaring it up yourself, otherwise you lose information on both sides. A simple icon-square uploaded is always better than a square generated from a rectangle.

How do I install the files?

Upload all files from the ZIP to the root of your site (so /favicon.ico, /site.webmanifest etc. are reachable). Paste the HTML snippet from README.txt into your <head>. That's it.
