Frequently Asked Questions

What is a standard favicon size?

Historically, it was a 16x16 pixel .ico file. Today, standard sizes are 32x32 for browsers, 180x180 for Apple Touch Icons, and 192x192/512x512 for Android/PWAs.

Do favicons impact SEO?

Yes. Google displays favicons directly in mobile and desktop search results. A recognizable favicon improves Click-Through Rates (CTR), which is a key ranking factor.

Why is a ZIP file downloaded?

Because modern web requires multiple icon sizes (for Retina displays, Android manifests, and Apple devices) plus a generated HTML snippet to link them all in your <head>.

Are images uploaded to a server?

No. The entire image scaling and ZIP compression process relies on HTML5 Canvas and JSZip in your browser, keeping your assets private.

Which file format should I upload?

A square, high-resolution PNG or SVG with a transparent background works best. The tool will automatically scale it down perfectly.
