What is in the download
The tool makes one ZIP file from your picture. A non-square picture is scaled to fit inside a square with transparent space around it, so it is never stretched or cropped, but a square picture gives the best result. The table lists each file and what it is for.
| File | Used for |
|---|---|
| favicon.ico | Browsers and tools that look for a favicon.ico, holding the 16, 32 and 48 pixel sizes |
| favicon-16x16.png and favicon-32x32.png | Browser tabs and bookmarks |
| favicon-48x48.png | A larger icon that is a multiple of 48 pixels |
| favicon-180x180.png | The Apple touch icon, shown when a site is added to an iPhone or iPad home screen |
| favicon-192x192.png and favicon-512x512.png | Larger icons, often listed in a web app manifest |
| README.txt | The link tags to paste into your page |
Putting the files on your site
Upload the files to the top folder of your website, then paste the link tags from README.txt into the head of every page. Clear your browser’s cache or open the site in a private window to see the change, because browsers keep favicons for a long time.
Google asks for a square icon whose size is a multiple of 48 pixels, so if you want it to appear in search results, also add a link tag that points to the 48 or the 192 pixel file. Google may take days or weeks to pick up a new icon.
