A favicon (favorite icon) is a small image displayed next to the page title in a browser tab. It helps users identify your website visually.

Which file formats can I upload?

You can upload JPG, PNG, or GIF images. For best results, use a square image with a transparent background (PNG).

What sizes are generated?

This tool generates 16x16 (standard), 32x32 (retina), 180x180 (Apple Touch Icon), 192x192 (Android), and 512x512 (PWA) sizes.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. All image processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never sent to our servers.

How do I install the favicon?

Download the generated file and upload it to your website's root directory. Then, add the appropriate tag to your HTML section.

Why Your Website Needs a Favicon

A favicon is more than just a small icon; it's a key part of your brand identity. Here is why you should use our Favicon Generator:

Brand Recognition: Helps users identify your tab among dozens of open browser tabs.
Professional Look: A site without a favicon shows a generic globe icon, which looks unfinished and untrustworthy.
SEO Benefits: Google displays favicons in mobile search results, which can improve your Click-Through Rate (CTR).
Mobile Experience: High-resolution icons (like the Apple Touch Icon) act as app icons when users save your site to their home screen.
