About Favicon Generator
This favicon generator turns one logo into the full set of icons a website needs, made the way browsers and phones expect them. The apple-touch-icon is never see-through, because an iPhone shows see-through parts as black: it gets your background color, with room around the logo. Android gets a maskable 512-pixel icon with the logo inside the safe zone, so a circle or squircle mask doesn't cut it off. Small sizes are sharpened so a 16-pixel icon keeps its edges, and a preview picture next to the ZIP shows the icon in a light and a dark browser tab and as an iPhone and an Android icon. More tools for website images, from compressing to resizing, are in Image Tools.
The ZIP holds favicon.ico with 16, 32 and 48 pixels inside, PNGs at 16, 32, 48 and 96 pixels (Google shows favicons in search results at multiples of 48), the 180-pixel apple-touch-icon, Android icons at 192 and 512 pixels, site.webmanifest and head.html. Upload an SVG and it's included as favicon.svg for browsers that use it. Your Site name goes into the manifest, and the Theme colour under More options into the manifest and into head.html, which holds the tags to paste. Put all the files in the root folder of your site, since the paths start with a slash. Logos that aren't square are centered on a square, never cropped, and Room around the icon adds 0 to 30% of space around the logo.
