Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe?
Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device and is never uploaded to any server.
What image formats are supported?
PNG, JPG, SVG, and WebP. SVG inputs produce the sharpest results since they're resolution-independent.
What sizes do I need?
At minimum, include 16x16, 32x32, and the ICO file. For full platform coverage, also add 180x180 (Apple) and 192x192 + 512x512 (Android/PWA).
What is an ICO file?
ICO is the traditional favicon format that bundles multiple sizes into a single file. It provides the widest browser compatibility, especially with older browsers.
Does my image need to be square?
Strongly recommended. Non-square images will be scaled to fit square dimensions, which may cause distortion. Crop your image to a 1:1 ratio before uploading for best results.

Tips & Best Practices
  • πŸ’‘Use a square image for best results. Non-square images will be stretched to fit, which may look distorted at small sizes.
  • πŸ’‘Keep your favicon design simple β€” fine details disappear at 16x16 pixels. Bold shapes and high contrast work best.
  • πŸ’‘SVG inputs produce the sharpest results since they can be rasterized at any resolution without quality loss.
  • πŸ’‘Check the 16x16 preview carefully β€” this is the size shown in browser tabs and should be clearly recognizable.
  • πŸ’‘If your source image has transparency, use PNG, SVG, or WebP format. JPG inputs will have a white background.
How It Works

Favicons are generated using the HTML5 Canvas API with high-quality image smoothing. Each size is rendered independently for optimal quality. The ICO file embeds PNG data directly (supported since IE9 / Windows Vista), keeping file sizes small while maintaining full color depth and transparency. The ZIP file is created client-side using the fflate library.
