What Is a Favicon?

A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, history lists, and search results next to your website's name. First introduced by Internet Explorer 5 in 1999, favicons have evolved from simple 16×16 pixel ICO files to multi-resolution icons that appear across browsers, mobile home screens, and app launchers.

Favicon Sizes and Formats

Size	Format	Usage
16×16	ICO / PNG	Browser tab icon (classic)
32×32	PNG	Browser tab icon (high-DPI), taskbar
48×48	PNG	Windows site shortcut
180×180	PNG	Apple Touch Icon (iOS home screen)
192×192	PNG	Android Chrome (web manifest)
512×512	PNG	PWA splash screen, Google search results

Frequently Asked Questions

What image should I use as a source?

Start with a square image at least 512×512 pixels. SVG source files produce the best results at all sizes. Avoid complex images with fine details — favicons are viewed at very small sizes, so simple logos and icons work best.

Do I need an ICO file?

Modern browsers support PNG and SVG favicons. ICO files are only needed for legacy Internet Explorer support. If you need IE compatibility, include a favicon.ico in your site root.
