<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">

<!-- iOS / Apple Touch Icon -->
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">

<!-- Android / PWA -->
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="192x192" href="/android-chrome-192x192.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="512x512" href="/android-chrome-512x512.png">

Recommended File Names

When using the downloaded icons, name them according to these conventions for maximum browser compatibility:

favicon-16x16.png16×16 browser tab
favicon-32x32.png32×32 browser tab
apple-touch-icon.png180×180 iOS home screen
android-chrome-192x192.png192×192 Android PWA
android-chrome-512x512.png512×512 Android PWA / Play Store

Important Note

The generated icons are PNG format. For modern browsers, you can also generate SVG favicons, but this tool focuses on PNG compatibility with older browsers and native app requirements.

Best Practices

Tips for Professional Icons
1

Keep it Simple

Use 1-3 characters for text icons. Complex designs become unreadable at small sizes.

2

Use High Contrast

Ensure your text/foreground color contrasts well with the background for visibility at 16×16 pixels.

3

Test at Multiple Sizes

Preview your icon at all sizes. Details that look good at 512×512 may be invisible at 16×16.

4

Consider Dark Mode

If your icon uses light colors, test how it appears on dark backgrounds. You may want to create a dark mode variant.

5

Use Brand Colors

Incorporate your brand's color palette for consistent recognition across touch points.
