❓ FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

What is a favicon and why do I need one?
A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the tiny icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and on mobile homescreens. It gives your site a professional, branded identity and helps users recognize your site instantly among dozens of open tabs.
Are my files uploaded to any server?
No — absolutely not. favicons runs 100% in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. No images, text, or data ever leave your device. There are no servers involved, no analytics on your designs, and nothing is ever stored anywhere.
Which favicon size should I use?
For most modern websites, 32×32 or 64×64 PNG is the recommended standard. Use 128×128 for Apple Touch Icons (iOS home screens) and 512×512 for PWA (Progressive Web App) manifests. favicons lets you download all four sizes independently.
How do I add the favicon to my website?
Download your favicon PNG, upload it to your website's root directory or assets folder, then add this line to your HTML <head>: <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon.png">. For Apple Touch Icons add: <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/favicon-128.png">.
Can I upload an SVG or transparent PNG?
Yes! Switch to Image Mode and upload any PNG, JPG, or SVG file. favicons renders it onto the canvas at the correct size, with your chosen shape mask applied. Transparent PNGs are supported — the transparency is preserved in the export.
Is favicons really free forever?
Yes, completely. There's no freemium tier, no watermarks, no sign-up required, and no download limits. favicons is a free browser tool with no strings attached. You own every pixel of every favicon you create.
