3

Review the previews at tab size and mobile size, adjusting the crop if the mark is not still clear at 16 pixels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for the widest support. Modern browsers favour the PNG sizes you explicitly declare, but Safari on the desktop, older browsers and plenty of bookmarking and feed reader apps still request the .ico file at the site root.
Use a square image of at least 256 by 256 pixels, and 512 by 512 if you have one, so every generated size is downscaled rather than enlarged. A square canvas with transparency produces the cleanest final result.
No. The image is resized locally in your browser and the icon files are generated there too, so your artwork is never uploaded to or retained on our servers. Clearing the page discards it completely.
Yes. Uploading favicon.ico alone is not enough for every browser. Paste the generated link tags into the <head> section of your template, ideally immediately after the opening head tag, and clear any cached copy while testing.

About Favicon Generator

The favicon is the small image that identifies your site in a browser tab, in bookmarks, on a phone home screen and in mobile search results. Leave it unset and browsers request a file that does not exist, falling back to a generic page icon, which makes a serious site look unfinished at exactly the moment a visitor is deciding whether to trust it.

This Favicon Generator takes an uploaded image and produces the full set of sizes modern browsers expect, rather than one file that stretches and blurs. Upload a square PNG or JPG of at least 256 by 256 pixels and you receive a proper multi-resolution favicon.ico, plus the square PNG sizes used by Apple touch icons, Windows tiles and Android home screens, along with a small ICO fallback for older browsers.

Keep the source artwork simple, because a favicon is displayed at 16 pixels in a tab. Bold letterforms, a single symbol or a simplified logo mark survive the shrink; a detailed wordmark turns into a grey smudge. After downloading, upload the .ico file to the root of your site and add the link tags the tool prints into the of every template, otherwise browsers will keep showing their fallback icon.
