About Favicons and How to Use Them
What is a Favicon?
A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small, 16x16 pixel icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars next to your website's URL. It helps users visually identify your site among many open tabs.
Why Use Our Favicon Generator?
Our free online tool makes it easy to create professional favicons without any design skills. Simply upload your image, and we'll convert it to the proper format and size. Our generator uses open-source technology to ensure high-quality results that work on all devices and browsers.
How to Add a Favicon to Your Website
After generating your favicon, simply upload the .ico or .png file to your website's root directory. Then add the following code to the <head> section of your HTML:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.png" type="image/png">
Best Practices for Favicons
- Use a simple, recognizable design that works at small sizes
- Square images work best (we'll crop your image if needed)
- Transparent backgrounds are supported
- For best results, start with at least 260x260 pixels
