About This Tool
What is a Favicon?
A favicon is the small icon shown next to your website title in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results. A clear favicon makes your brand recognizable across hundreds of open tabs.
Sizes Generated
- 16x16 - classic browser tab
- 32x32 - modern browser tab, taskbar
- 48x48 - Windows site icon
- 192x192 - Android home screen
- favicon.ico - multi-size legacy file (16+32+48 in one)
Best Practices
- Start with a square image at least 512x512 for crisp results at every size
- Keep the design simple - fine details vanish at 16x16
- Use high contrast - favicons appear over both light and dark browser themes
Frequently Asked Questions
Why generate multiple sizes instead of just one?
Different contexts use different sizes - browser tabs use 16/32, mobile home screens use 192+, and Windows uses 48 in some places. The .ico file packs 16/32/48 together so a single file covers all desktop browsers.
What if my logo is not square?
The tool centers your image inside a square canvas. Empty space gets your background color (or stays transparent). For best results, prepare a square version of your logo first.
Where do I put the favicon files on my site?
Upload favicon.ico to your site root URL (yoursite.com/favicon.ico). Add the link rel icon tag shown by the tool to your HTML head. Modern browsers also pick up favicon.ico automatically even without the tag.
