What is a Favicon?

A Favicon (short for favorite icon) is a small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and other interface elements. It helps users quickly identify your website among multiple open tabs and bookmarks.

How to Use Favicons

To add a Favicon to your website:

  1. Convert your image using our tool to generate ICO and other formats
  2. Unzip the downloaded package and place all files in your website's root directory
  3. Add the following HTML code to your site's <head> section:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" sizes="any">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-16x16.png" sizes="16x16">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-48x48.png" sizes="48x48">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/android-chrome-192x192.png" sizes="192x192">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/android-chrome-512x512.png" sizes="512x512">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="mask-icon" href="/safari-pinned-tab.svg" color="#5bbad5">
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.svg" type="image/svg+xml">HTML

Best Practices

  • Keep it simple: Favicons are small, complex designs become unrecognizable.
  • Brand consistency: Use your logo or brand elements that represent you.
  • Consider backgrounds: Ensure visibility on both light and dark browser themes.
  • Provide multiple formats: Include .png and .svg formats for modern browsers, as our tool does.
