Correct favicon size

Client

The correct favicon size depends on surface: 32×32 tabs, 180×180 Apple touch, 512×512 CMS/PWA. Upload once and export each row below.

Standard favicon sizes

Square PNGs are typical. Pick one target size below after upload, or use the favicon generator to download every common size at once.

WordPress favicon size

Under Appearance → Customize → Site Icon, WordPress expects a square image at least 512×512 px. The CMS scales it down for browser tabs and the admin bar. Upload a logo, then export 512px below—or use the favicon generator for a full PNG set.

Favicon .ico size

A classic favicon.ico file is not one pixel dimension—it bundles multiple square layers (16×16, 32×32, 48×48 px are typical). Browsers pick the best layer for the tab. This page exports PNG at one size; download 16, 32, 48 px separately if you need to build an .ico offline.

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.
