Create and install your favicon for all platforms: PC/Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android devices, Windows 8 tablets...
== Description ==
Generate and setup a favicon for desktop browsers, iPhone/iPad, Android devices, Windows 8 tablets and more. In a matter of seconds, design an icon that looks great on all major platforms.
Favicon is not just a single `favicon.ico` file dropped in the middle of your site. Nowadays, with so many different platforms and devices, you need a bunch of pictures to get the job done. With RealFaviconGenerator, generate all the icons you need for desktop browsers, iPhone/iPad, Android devices, Windows 8 devices, and more.
iOS devices use a high resolution Apple touch icon to illustrate bookmarks and home screen shortcuts. A first generation iPhone needs a 57x57 picture, whereas a brand new iPad with Retina screen looks for a 152x152 picture. Android Chrome also use these pictures if it finds them. Windows 8 takes another route with a dedicated set of icons and HTML declarations.
Favicon is not only a matter of pictures with different resolutions. The various platforms coms with different UI guidelines. For example, the classic desktop favicons often use transparency. But iOS requires opaque icons. And Windows 8 has its own recommendations.
Save hours of research and image edition with RealFaviconGenerator and its companion plugin. In a matter of seconds, you setup a favicon compatible with:
- Windows (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari)
- Mac (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Camino)
- iOS (Safari, Chrome, Coast)
- Android (Chrome, Firefox)
- Surface (IE)
- And more
We take compatibility very seriously. See http://realfavicongenerator.net/favicon_compatibility for the full list.
