Upload a square PNG or JPG of at least 256 by 256 pixels, ideally with a transparent background and simple, bold artwork.
Optionally crop and centre the image using the preview box, then click the "Generate" button to build the full icon set.
Review the previews at tab size and mobile size, adjusting the crop if the mark is not still clear at 16 pixels.
Download the favicon.ico and the PNG set, upload the .ico to your site root, then paste the generated link tags into the <head> of your template.

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.Key Benefits
