How it works

  • Step 2 — Pick Rounded Square, Circle or Square and check the live previews at 16px, 32px and 180px. Every preview is drawn from the same 512px master.
  • Step 3 — Download the 512×512 PNG for modern browsers, or a genuine .ico file (64px PNG embedded in the ICO format) for legacy browsers and bookmarks.
