Android Chrome Icon Sizes
The exact PNG sizes Chrome needs for Android home screens and PWA installs — plus a copy-paste site.webmanifest.
Required sizes in 2026
| File | Size | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| android-chrome-192x192.png | 192×192 | Home screen / install icon |
| android-chrome-512x512.png | 512×512 | Splash / high-res install surfaces |
Both must be PNG and declared in your web app manifest. Tab icons (16×16 / 32×32) do not replace these.
Sizes you can skip
Old blog posts often list 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 as a full Android set. For a modern website that only needs Chrome install + browser tabs, those mid-sizes are unnecessary. Focus on 192 and 512, plus your normal favicon PNG/ICO/SVG stack.
site.webmanifest example
{
"name": "Your Site Name",
"short_name": "YourSite",
"icons": [
{
"src": "/android-chrome-192x192.png",
"sizes": "192x192",
"type": "image/png"
},
{
"src": "/android-chrome-512x512.png",
"sizes": "512x512",
"type": "image/png"
}
],
"theme_color": "#ffffff",
"background_color": "#ffffff",
"display": "standalone"
}Link it from HTML with <link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">. FaviconStudio generates this file automatically in the download ZIP.
