1. 

   Make your mark in the world of browser tabs! Both the front-end (public) and back-end (dashboard) of your site may have a different Favicon, if you wish. Three icon sizes are generated from the given image to cover Google TV (96 x 96), Safari on Mac OS (32 x 32), and standard Favicon (16 x 16).

2. 

   Jazz-up your site with gorgeous icons on iOS devices (apple touch icons). Support every generation of iOS device with a single upload and never get missed! Nine icon sizes are generated from the given image to cover Non-retina iPhone with iOS6 or prior (57 x 57), Non-retina iPhone with iOS7 (60 x 60), Non-retina iPad with iOS6 or prior (72 x 72), Non-retina iPad with iOS7 (76 x 76), Retina iPhone with iOS6 or prior (114 x 114), Retina iPhone with iOS7 (120 x 120), Retina iPad with iOS6 or prior (144 x 144), Retina iPad with iOS7 (152 x 152) and iPhone 6 Plus with iOS8 (180 x 180).

3. 

   Setting up icons for Android Chrome devices could just be that extra exposure you've been looking for. More and more people are moving to the Android market. Why miss out? Six icon sizes are generated from the given image to cover Chrome M39+ with 0.75 screen density (36 x 36), Chrome M39+ with 1.0 screen density (48 x 48), Chrome M39+ with 1.5 screen density (72 x 72), Chrome M39+ with 2.0 screen density (96 x 96), Chrome M39+ with 3.0 screen density (144 x 144) and Chrome M39+ with 4.0 screen density (192 x 192).

4. 

   Windows 8.x Tiles are groovy, baby! You'll look like a pro when your site looks like a native Windows 8 app. Choose from a recommended tile color or choose your own. The sky is the limit. Five tile icon sizes are generated from the given image to cover Windows 8 / IE11 (70 x 70, 150 x 150, 310 x 150 and 310 x 310) and Windows 8 / IE10 (144 x 144).

I’ve installed Quick Favicon. Where are my settings?

After installing Quick Favicon, you can access your Icon Settings two ways.

1. By clicking Icon Settings on the Plugins page in your Dashboard
2. By clicking Icons on the Appearance menu in your Dashboard

Can a different icon be used for both the front and back-end of a site?

Yes. You can set a separate icon OR set the same icon for both areas.

The sizes listed on the Windows tab are not the actual sizes that Microsoft recommends!

True. Those sizes are basically the minimum-margins. If you look at the images themselves after they are generated, they do match Microsoft’s recommended sizes. The reason for this is that they want to ensure smooth graphic quality on systems with large displays. Down-scaling is the only way to keep clean images.
