Question 1

What is a favicon?

Accepted Answer

A favicon is a small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and history. It helps users identify your website visually. Standard sizes include 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 pixels, but modern browsers also use larger sizes like 128x128 and 256x256.

Question 2

What favicon sizes do I need?

Accepted Answer

For full browser compatibility, you need 16x16 (tab icon), 32x32 (taskbar), 48x48 (Windows site icon), 64x64 (high-DPI tabs), 128x128 (Chrome Web Store), and 256x256 (large previews). This tool generates all sizes at once.

What is the difference between ICO, PNG, and SVG favicons?
