How to Create a Favicon from PNG

Transparency Support: PNG files support alpha transparency, allowing your favicon to blend seamlessly with any browser tab color.
Lossless Compression: PNG uses lossless compression, ensuring your favicon maintains crisp edges and sharp details.
Wide Color Support: PNG supports millions of colors, perfect for detailed or gradient-filled favicon designs.
Perfect for Logos: PNG is commonly used for logos and brand assets, making it a natural source format for favicons.

Create your favicon with this PNG converter.
Place your favicon.ico file into your website's root folder.
Add the following code to your html's <head> section: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Visit www.yourwebsite.com/favicon.ico to verify that your icon is there.

Start with a Square Canvas: Create your PNG with equal width and height (preferably 256×256 pixels).
Use Transparent Background: Design your icon with transparency to ensure it looks good on any color browser.
Keep it Simple: Favicon space is limited, so focus on simple shapes and minimal details.
Test at Small Sizes: Ensure your design is recognizable even at 16×16 pixels.
Use Bold Colors: High contrast colors help your favicon stand out in browser tabs.
