Frequently Asked Questions

What is a favicon?

A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small graphic displayed in browser tabs, bookmark bars, history lists, search engine results, and mobile home screen shortcuts to visually identify your website or web application.

What size should a favicon be?

Modern web standards recommend multiple sizes: 16×16 px for browser tabs, 32×32 px for high-DPI Retina displays, 48×48 px for desktop shortcuts, 180×180 px for Apple iOS home screen bookmarks, and 192×192 & 512×512 px for Android and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).

Can I create a true multi-resolution ICO file?

Yes! FreePDFly generates a genuine binary favicon.ico container containing 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48 pixel resolutions bundled together, ensuring backwards compatibility with legacy browsers and desktop shortcuts.

Can I create an SVG favicon?

Yes. Modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge support scalable SVG favicons. When you upload an SVG or generate a favicon, our tool generates a clean, safe SVG icon that scales smoothly to any screen resolution.

Can I generate an Apple Touch Icon?

Yes. FreePDFly automatically generates an apple-touch-icon.png (180×180 px) formatted with appropriate background and sizing so that iOS home screen bookmarks display your brand perfectly without dark clipping.
