Frequently Asked Questions

What is a favicon.ico file and why do I need it?

A favicon is a small icon displayed in browser tabs, favorites directories, and bookmark rows. The .ico extension is a special single-file multi-resolution container that packages multiple PNG sizes (e.g., 16x16, 32x32, 48x48) together for backward compatibility.

Does this generator compile a real multi-resolution .ico file?

Yes! Unlike simple converters that merely rename a PNG file to .ico, our in-browser engine builds a fully compliant binary multi-resolution .ico structure, bundling multiple optimized layouts into one file.

How do I install the generated files in my web app?

Once you extract the downloaded ZIP bundle to your website root directory, copy the provided and manifest integration tags inside your main index.html or layout.html tag.
