Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes should I generate?

Most browsers use 32×32 or 16×16. Apple Touch Icons use 180×180. For best compatibility, generate multiple sizes.

Can I use an image instead of text?

This tool focuses on text-based favicons for quick generation. Image-based favicon creation is planned for a future update.
