Start from PNG, SVG, JPG, WebP or an animated GIF - each one gives you the full favicon pack with the HTML, made in your browser.

What is a favicon?

A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, history and next to your site in search results. It helps visitors find your tab among dozens of others.

The classic format is a favicon.ico with several sizes inside. Modern sites add PNG versions for phones and an SVG favicon that stays sharp on any screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

A square PNG with a transparent background is the safest start. If you have your logo as a vector, an SVG is even better, because it scales to every size without blur.

Use PNG to Favicon or SVG to Favicon.

Include at least 16 x 16 px for browser tabs and 32 x 32 px for bookmarks and the taskbar. Add 48 px for Windows and 180 px for Apple devices.

The Favicon Generator creates all of them at once.

Yes, with JPG to Favicon. JPG has no transparency, so the favicon gets a solid background. For a transparent one, convert to PNG first with JPG to PNG.

Yes. Firefox plays an animated GIF favicon, but Chrome, Edge and Safari show only its first frame. GIF to Favicon adds a tiny script that plays the animation in every browser, and lets you pick the still frame.

Upload favicon.ico to the root folder of your site, then add <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" sizes="any"> to the <head> of your pages. Add a PNG or SVG line for modern browsers and an apple-touch-icon for iPhones.

A favicon is the icon of a website, and ICO is one of the file formats it can use. ICO is popular because one file holds several sizes. For other ICO jobs, see the icon converters.

Browsers cache favicons for a long time. Hard-refresh the page, open it in a private window, or check the setup with the Favicon Checker.

No. The favicon converters run in your browser, so your logo never leaves your device. That also makes them fast, even for big images.
