## About
A favicon needs several sizes to look crisp everywhere: 16 and 32 px for browser tabs, 48 px for Windows, and 180 px for Apple touch icons. This tool renders all four from a single source image so you can download exactly what your site needs.
A square source image produces the best results; non-square images are scaled to fit each square canvas.
## How to use
1. **Choose a square-ish image** — Your logo or icon works well.
2. **Download each size** — 16, 32, 48, and 180 px PNGs are generated.
## FAQ
### Which sizes do I actually need?
A 32x32 ICO for legacy browsers, a 180x180 apple-touch-icon.png for iOS, and a 192x192 + 512x512 PNG for Android. Modern browsers prefer the SVG version. The tool generates all of these from one source image.
### Can I use an SVG as the source?
Yes. SVG is the preferred modern source because it scales without quality loss. The tool rasterizes the SVG to each output size.
### Where do I put the generated files?
Drop the favicon.ico in your site root, the apple-touch-icon.png in the root too, and add the and tags in your HTML .
