Favicon not showing

Client

When favicons fail to appear, causes are usually wrong path, missing sizes, or cache—not mystery pixels. Export fresh PNG and copy link tags below.

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

HTML link tags

Set the folder where PNGs will live (site root is /). Copy tags into your document <head>.

Current export (32×32)

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">

Full favicon block

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="192x192" href="/icon-192x192.png">

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

  • Regenerate icons and HTML snippets after a deploy.
  • Confirm favicon not showing requirements before updating HTML link tags or a CMS upload field.
  • Export a square PNG locally after upload—no server processing of your logo.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using a non-square logo without padding

    Center crop helps but cannot fix edge-to-edge text. Add margin before export.

  • Changing favicon without cache-busting query string.

FAQ

Why is my favicon not updating?

Hard refresh, check href paths, confirm PNG pixels match sizes attribute.

Can I export the PNG in my browser?

Yes. Upload your image, pick the target pixel size, and download—processing stays on your device.
