Favicon sizes 2026: 16, 32, 180px covered
Cover every favicon size for 2026 from 16 pixel tabs to 180 pixel touch icons with crisp exports.
Tiny icons that carry brands
Favicons appear at 16 by 16 pixels in tabs, 32 by 32 on retina screens and 180 by 180 for touch icons. Chrome shows them in 8 pixel high rows, so simple marks with 3 or fewer shapes win over detailed emblems.
Design at 512 pixels square, then export crisp copies at 16, 32, 48 and 180 pixels. If you make your logo online, test the mark at actual tab size for 10 seconds to confirm it reads before launch.
