Favicon sizes

Client

This page matches the exact search “favicon sizes”: a full chart of square pixel counts, what each surface expects, and a local exporter so you can download 32×32, 180×180, or 512×512 after upload.

Favicon sizes chart at a glance

Tabs: 32×32 (often plus 16×16). Apple touch: 180×180. WordPress Site Icon: 512×512 minimum. PWA manifest: 192×192 and 512×512. Classic favicon.ico bundles 16, 32, and 48 px layers inside one file.

Quick answer: what size should a favicon be?

Most websites ship 32×32 px for browser tabs, 180×180 px for Apple touch icons, and 512×512 px for WordPress Site Icon or PWA install prompts. Classic favicon.ico files embed 16, 32, and 48 px layers—not a single dimension.

Upload your logo below to read its pixel size, pick a target, and export PNG—or use the favicon generator for every common size at once. Full chart: 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64… and more in the table.

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.

Common use cases

  • Bookmark a single favicon sizes chart before editing HTML or a web manifest.
  • Export 32×32 for tabs plus 180×180 for Apple touch without guessing.
  • Compare platform rows, then download only the squares you deploy.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Shipping only the smallest size

    16×16 alone looks soft on retina tabs—add 32×32 or export from a larger master.

  • Confusing file size (KB) with pixel sizes

    Favicon sizes mean width×height in pixels, not download weight.

  • Skipping PWA / WordPress squares

    Tabs need 32 px; WordPress Site Icon and install prompts need 512 px.
