Worked examples
Concrete numbers and cases you can check against the tool above.
One mark → ICO, PNG, Apple Touch, manifest
A simple 512×512 PNG with a solid center and padding survives being scaled to 16×16. Thin script type becomes mud at favicon size — prefer a lettermark or icon. The ZIP should include favicon.ico, 32×32/192×192 PNGs, apple-touch-icon.png, and a web manifest referencing those files.
When to use Favicon Generator
Browsers and devices expect multiple favicon sizes plus a manifest. Generating a full package from one image, text, or emoji saves hours of manual export work.
