Favicon Installation Guide
Once you download your generated favicon_package.zip, extract it into the root directory of your project. Then, add the appropriate code snippet to your site's <head> section.
Standard HTML
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">Next.js (App Router)
Place the files in the app/ directory. Next.js automatically handles favicon.ico, icon.png, and apple-icon.png.React (Create React App)
Place files in the public/ folder. Add to public/index.html:
<link rel="icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" />WordPress
Go to Appearance > Customize > Site Identity and upload your generated 512x512 PNG as the Site Icon.Format Comparison

Troubleshooting
Favicon not updating?
Browsers heavily cache favicons. If you uploaded a new favicon but still see the old one, try clearing your browser cache or doing a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 on Windows, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). Alternatively, append a query string to your HTML link tag: href="/favicon.ico?v=2".
Safari favicon problems?
Safari relies on apple-touch-icon.png for bookmarks. Ensure this file is present in your root directory. Safari also used to require SVG mask-icons, but modern versions now support standard SVG and PNG favicons.
Chrome favicon not changing?
Chrome caches favicons aggressively. You can force Chrome to update it by visiting your favicon URL directly (e.g., yoursite.com/favicon.ico) and doing a hard refresh on that specific file.
