About Favicons
What are Favicons?
Favicons (short for "favorite icons") are small, iconic images that represent your website. They appear in browser tabs, bookmarks, address bars, and mobile home screens. Originally 16x16 pixels, modern favicons come in multiple sizes to ensure crisp display across all devices and platforms.
History & Evolution
Favicons were introduced by Microsoft in Internet Explorer 5 (1999) as simple ICO files. The concept quickly spread to other browsers. Today's favicons support PNG format, multiple sizes (16px to 512px), and serve various purposes from browser tabs to mobile app icons and PWA manifests.
Why Favicons Matter
- • Brand Recognition: Instant visual identification
- • Professional Appearance: Polished, complete website
- • User Experience: Easy tab and bookmark navigation
- • Mobile Integration: Home screen app-like icons
- • SEO Benefits: Improved user engagement metrics
Modern Favicon Requirements
Today's websites need multiple favicon sizes: 16x16 and 32x32 for browsers, 180x180 for iOS, 192x192 and 512x512 for Android, plus various sizes for Windows tiles and PWA manifests. Our generator creates all essential sizes automatically, ensuring your site looks professional everywhere.
