Frequently Asked Questions

What is a favicon?

A favicon is a small icon associated with a website. It may appear in browser tabs, bookmarks, browser history, and other browser interfaces. It helps visitors recognize a website.

Which image format should I upload?

This tool supports PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF images. PNG is often a good choice for logos because it supports transparent backgrounds.

What favicon sizes should I generate?

Common sizes include 16×16 and 32×32 pixels for browser use, 180×180 for Apple touch icons, and 192×192 and 512×512 for Android and web app icons. The appropriate sizes depend on your website.

What is the difference between PNG and ICO?

PNG is a widely supported image format that can be used directly in HTML favicon tags. ICO is a Windows icon container that can hold multiple icon sizes in one file. This generator creates both formats.

Where should I put favicon files?

You can put them in your website's root directory or in a dedicated folder such as /favicons/. Make sure the paths in your HTML installation code match the actual file locations.

Does this generator upload my image?

No. Image processing and icon generation take place in your browser. Your selected image is not uploaded to the LifeAfterFlex server by this tool.

Will my favicon appear immediately?

Browsers may cache favicons. After installing a new icon, you may need to refresh the page, clear the browser cache, or wait for the browser to update its stored favicon.
