Favicon package checklist for static sites

A single favicon.ico still helps older bookmarks, but modern browsers and “Add to Home Screen” expect more. Use this checklist when you drop a LocalFavicon ZIP into a static site.

Files to include

• favicon.ico — multi-size ICO for legacy tabs and some crawlers.
• favicon-16x16.png / favicon-32x32.png — crisp browser tabs.
• apple-touch-icon.png (180×180) — iOS home screen.
• android-chrome-192x192.png and 512x512.png — PWA / Android icons referenced from the manifest.
• site.webmanifest — name, theme color, icon entries.

Minimal HTML

Paste the snippet from the ZIP into your <head>. Adjust paths if assets live in a subfolder. Keep one canonical set — avoid three conflicting generators dumping different icons.

Verify

1. Hard-refresh; check the tab icon.
2. Open the manifest URL and confirm icon paths 200.
3. On a phone, “Add to Home Screen” once after a real deploy (not only file://).

LocalFavicon packs these into one ZIP so you are not hunting size presets across five tabs.
