How do I check my favicon size?

Upload your icon file to the checker above — it reads the real width, height and format in your browser and reports which standard slots it covers: 16×16, 32×32, 180×180, 192×192 and 512×512. A single master file rarely covers every slot exactly, so the checklist tells you which dedicated exports to add.

What size should a favicon be?

Ship a small set, not one file: a multi-size favicon.ico (16/32/48 px) or favicon.svg for browser tabs, a 180×180 PNG apple-touch-icon for iOS home screens, and 192×192 plus 512×512 PNGs (one declared maskable) in your web manifest for PWA install prompts. The checklist above verifies each of these.

What is the apple touch icon size?

The Apple touch icon is 180×180 px PNG, served as /apple-touch-icon.png and linked with . iOS scales whatever it finds if the exact size is missing, which can blur the home-screen icon — the checker passes only an exact 180×180 file (or SVG).

What size icons does a PWA need?

A PWA web manifest needs at least a 192×192 and a 512×512 icon, and one icon should declare "purpose": "maskable" for adaptive Android icons. The checker verifies the 192 and 512 sizes against your uploaded file with the engine’s exact-size rule; maskable purpose is a manual manifest check.

How to check if my website has a favicon?

Enter your URL above for the manual verification checklist (open /favicon.ico and confirm it loads), or upload the icon file itself for measured checks. Note this tool cannot live-scan your site from the browser — reachability items are honest manual steps, not invented results.

Why is my favicon not showing?

The usual causes: the file isn’t actually reachable (wrong path or 404), an aggressive browser cache (hard-refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R), a non-square or corrupt image, or a missing tag. Run the checklist above, copy the recommended setup into your page, and clear the cache before rechecking.

Favicon Checker

What is Favicon checker?

Favicon Checker — Free favicon checker: upload your icon to verify 16×16, 32×32, 180×180, 192 and 512 sizes, maskable support and manifest setup — with a 0–100 score.

Checks run against the alyldas/site-media-checker engine spec (MIT): the same check ids (favicon.reachable, apple.touch-icon, pwa.icon-192, pwa.icon-512, pwa.maskable-icon, manifest.valid-json), the same recommended asset set (/favicon.ico, /favicon.svg, /apple-touch-icon.png, /icon-192.png, /icon-512.png, /icon-maskable-512.png, /site.webmanifest) and the engine’s own scoring (100 − 12 per fail − 5 per warning). Because a browser page cannot fetch other sites’ pages, this is a client-side adaptation: an uploaded icon is measured (real dimensions, engine format recognition, engine hasIconSize semantics) while live reachability, manifest JSON and maskable purpose stay honest “manual” items. A URL alone produces a manual verification checklist, not a live scan.

Good to know

Browsers cannot fetch other sites’ pages (CORS), so a URL alone yields a manual verification checklist — there is no live scan and none is claimed.
Manifest JSON validity and maskable “purpose” cannot be read from an uploaded icon; they are marked manual by design.
SVG dimensions come from the browser’s decoded bitmap — an SVG is treated as scalable regardless of its reported intrinsic size.
ICO decoding depends on the browser; if your ICO won’t decode, export it as PNG and re-upload.
Score bands (“complete”, “usable with gaps”, …) are this tool’s presentation of the engine’s 0–100 score, not the engine’s own labels.

How it works

Checks run against the alyldas/site-media-checker engine spec (MIT): the same check ids (favicon.reachable, apple.touch-icon, pwa.icon-192, pwa.icon-512, pwa.maskable-icon, manifest.valid-json), the same recommended asset set (/favicon.ico, /favicon.svg, /apple-touch-icon.png, /icon-192.png, /icon-512.png, /icon-maskable-512.png, /site.webmanifest) and the engine’s own scoring (100 − 12 per fail − 5 per warning). Because a browser page cannot fetch other sites’ pages, this is a client-side adaptation: an uploaded icon is measured (real dimensions, engine format recognition, engine hasIconSize semantics) while live reachability, manifest JSON and maskable purpose stay honest “manual” items. A URL alone produces a manual verification checklist, not a live scan.

Examples

PWA master icon

Upload a 512×512 PNG — the 512 PWA check passes exactly; the 192 and apple-touch-icon checks warn that exact-size exports are still needed.

Apple touch icon

Upload a 180×180 PNG — the apple.touch-icon check passes; iOS uses exactly this size on the home screen.

URL-only audit

Manual checklist mode — every item is marked manual with how-to-verify steps; upload the icon file for measured size checks.
