Favicon Facts

The Original Favicon

Internet Explorer 5 introduced favicons in 1999. Microsoft wanted a way to show a site icon in the favorites/bookmarks menu. The original format was a single 16×16 ICO file, and the feature was almost an afterthought.

Apple Changed Everything

When Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, they needed a larger icon for home screen bookmarks. The 180×180 Apple Touch Icon became the new standard, forcing websites to upgrade from tiny 16×16 pixel art.

The 512×512 Future

Modern Progressive Web Apps use 512×512 icons for splash screens and app installations. A single source image scaled to 5 sizes covers every use case from browser tabs to Android home screens.
Pro Tip: Use a square source image with your logo centered. Favicons get cropped to a square automatically, so important elements near the edges may be cut off.
