The Smallest Big Detail in Web Design

A Favicon (short for “favorite icon”) is the tiny symbol that represents your brand on browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens. While small in pixels, it is huge for credibility and brand recall. The Ahoxy Favicon Generator takes your high-res assets and converts them into a professional-grade icon kit instantly.

Pro Tips for Icon Design

Stay Minimal: Complexity is the enemy of the favicon. Use bold shapes and high contrast to ensure readability at a glance.
Transparency Matters: Always use a transparent background (PNG) so your icon looks great on both light and dark browser themes.
Color Consistency: Ensure your favicon uses the primary color of your brand for instant psychological recognition.

Identity in 16x16 Pixels (A Tiny Brand)

A Favicon (short for “Favorite Icon”) is the small image displayed on browser tabs, address bars, and bookmark lists. While tiny, it serves as a critical visual anchor, helping users instantly recognize your site among dozens of open tabs.

🎨 Best Practices for Great Favicons

Simplicity is Key: Because favicons are small, complex logos often become a blur. Stick to a simple symbol or a single bold initial.
Consistency Across Platforms: Modern web environments require more than just a 16x16 icon. It’s best to provide multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32, and 180x180 for mobile home screens).
Transparency Matters: Using a transparent background (PNG) allows your icon to look crisp in both dark and light browser modes.

💡 Developer’s Cheat Sheet

Note

The Multi-Layer ICO Format Our generator supports the multi-layer .ico format. This means a single file can contain several versions of your icon at different resolutions. Browsers will automatically select the best resolution for the user’s display, whether it’s an old monitor or a high-end Retina screen.
