Browser-based

The image is processed in the browser, so the tool stays lightweight for free hosting.

Why Your Website Needs a Favicon

A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens. Without it, browsers show a generic globe icon, making your site look unprofessional and hard to find when users have 20 tabs open.

Optimal Favicon Formats

While modern browsers support PNG and SVG, the traditional .ico format is still universally required for legacy support and certain browser behaviors (like RSS readers and older Safari versions).

Quick rules:

  • Keep it simple. Favicons render at 16x16 pixels. A complex logo will look like a blurry smudge. Use a single letter or a simplified brand mark.
  • Ensure high contrast. Test how your icon looks on both dark mode and light mode browser tabs.
  • Use a square image. Upload a perfectly square image (e.g., 512x512) for the best conversion results without distortion.
