Frequently asked questions
- 1Where is a 16×16 favicon used?
- Classic browser tab icon size used since the early favicon specification.
- 2What format should a 16×16 favicon be?
- PNG is the modern default for a 16×16 favicon. ICO is recommended only when bundled into a multi-resolution favicon.ico file for legacy compatibility.
- 3Should I include 16×16 in my favicon package?
- Yes, if any of your target platforms or devices reference 16×16 in their documentation or manifest requirements. A complete package reduces missing-icon requests and inconsistent rendering.
- 4How do I add a 16×16 favicon to my website?
- Generate the file, upload it to your site root or public folder, then reference it with a link tag in your HTML head or platform-specific metadata configuration.
- 5Can I generate only a 16×16 favicon?
- You can export a 16×16 asset directly, but we recommend shipping a full favicon package so tabs, bookmarks, iOS home screens, and Android install prompts all receive the correct size.
