Favicon sizes

Client

See every common favicon size in one chart, then upload a logo to export exactly the pixel square you need—tabs, Apple touch, PWA, or WordPress.

Most common favicon sizes

32×32 px for browser tabs, 180×180 px for Apple touch icons, 512×512 px for WordPress Site Icon and many PWA splash screens. Ship at least those three if you want one minimal set.

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

  • Answer “what are favicon sizes?” with a table you can bookmark before editing HTML or a web manifest.
  • Pick 32×32 for browser tabs, 180×180 for iOS, or 512×512 for PWA splash without guessing.
  • Compare sizes side by side, then download one PNG at the target you chose.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Shipping only 16×16

    Retina tabs and home-screen icons need larger squares. Most teams ship at least 32, 180, and 512 px.

  • Treating the chart as optional

    Wrong dimensions cause blurry tabs or cropped logos. Match the platform row before export.
