Favicon 16×16

Client

16×16 px is the smallest common tab icon size and one layer inside classic favicon.ico files. Export square PNG here for HTML or ICO packing.

We read width and height locally, then resize with center crop. Max 8 MB.

Export size

?

Choose the pixel size your HTML link, manifest, or platform expects. Preview shows how center crop will look at that size.

Common use cases

  • Build the 16 px layer for a multi-resolution favicon.ico bundle.
  • Support older templates that still reference 16×16 PNG link tags.
  • Verify a tiny mark stays readable after center crop.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Cramming detail into 16 px

    Fine text disappears at this size. Simplify the mark or add padding before export.

  • Using only 16×16 on modern sites

    Retina tabs prefer 32×32. Ship 16 and 32 together, or use the favicon generator.

FAQ

Do browsers still use 16×16 favicons?

Some still pick 16×16 when listed in link tags or inside .ico files. Most modern setups also ship 32×32 or larger PNGs.

Is 16×16 the same as favicon.ico size?

Not exactly—.ico files embed multiple sizes. 16×16 is one typical layer alongside 32×32 and 48×48.
