Favicon Generator

A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is that tiny, yet essential, image you see:

In your browser tabs
Next to bookmarks
In browser history
Even on taskbar shortcuts

It’s like a logo, but mini-sized—usually 16x16 pixels. Despite its size, it plays a huge role in branding and user recognition.

Key Properties of Favicons

1. Appearance & Design

Size: Typically 16x16 or 32x32 pixels.
Simplicity is key: Because of its small size, clean, minimal designs work best.
Often derived from your brand logo.

2. File Formats to Know

ICO: The original favicon format, works on all browsers.
PNG: High-quality, supports transparency, but not for older Internet Explorer versions.
SVG: Scalable, great for modern browsers and high-resolution displays.
Other options: GIF (animated), JPEG (not ideal due to no transparency), APNG (animated PNGs).

Why You Need a Favicon

Where Favicons Show Up

Browser tabs (helps users identify your site quickly).
Bookmarks (makes saving your site memorable).
Search results (some search engines display favicons next to the URL).
Taskbars and desktop shortcuts (for users who save your site).

Without one, your website looks unfinished and risks being overlooked.

How to Generate a Favicon

Your site provides two powerful ways to create a favicon:

1. Text-to-Favicon

Perfect for people without a logo or who want something minimalist.

Enter the text you want (e.g., initials like "AB").
Choose a font style, size, and background color.
Generate and download your favicon!

Pro Tip: Simple letters and contrasting colors work best at small sizes.

2. Image-to-Favicon

Have a logo? Use it as your favicon!

Upload your image (PNG, JPEG, SVG).
Crop and resize it directly on the site.
Save it as a favicon in your desired format (ICO, PNG, etc.).

Pro Tip: Ensure your image has a transparent background for a cleaner look.

Best Practices for Your Favicon

Create multiple formats (ICO, PNG, SVG) to cover all browsers and devices.
Test how it looks in different contexts (browser tabs, bookmarks, mobile screens).
Keep it simple—details are easily lost in such a small size.

By offering both text-to-favicon and image-to-favicon tools, your site ensures users of all skill levels can create professional, high-quality favicons in minutes.
