How to create a favicon

  1. Choose a square PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, or SVG source image.
  2. Adjust the padding and choose a transparent or solid background.
  3. Download the complete package or only the multi-size ICO file.
  4. Place the files at the paths used by the included HTML and manifest, or update those paths for your site.

Browsers cache favicons aggressively. After replacing one, you may need a hard refresh, a cache clear, or a changed filename before the new icon appears.

Frequently asked questions

What files does the favicon package include?

The ZIP includes a multi-size favicon.ico, 16, 32, and 48 pixel PNG favicons, a 180 pixel Apple touch icon, 192 and 512 pixel web app icons, a basic web manifest, and an HTML link snippet.

What image should I use for a favicon?

Use a square image with a simple, recognizable shape and strong contrast. Fine text and small details often disappear at 16 or 32 pixels.

Does the ICO file contain multiple sizes?

Yes. The generated ICO embeds PNG icon entries at 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, and 256 pixels so browsers and desktop software can choose an appropriate size.

Should a favicon have a transparent background?

Transparency works well for many logos, while a solid background can improve contrast and consistency. The tool lets you choose either without forcing one convention.

Are favicon images uploaded or stored?

No. Image rendering, ICO encoding, and ZIP creation happen locally in your browser, and the selected image is not stored.
