What is a Favicon?
A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results next to your website name. A good favicon helps with brand recognition and makes your site look professional.
Supported Formats
- .ICO — The classic favicon format, supported by all browsers. Our generator creates multi-size ICO files (16x16, 32x32, 48x48).
- .PNG — Modern browsers prefer PNG favicons. Download individual sizes or all at once.
- Apple Touch Icon — 180x180 PNG used when someone adds your site to their iPhone or iPad home screen.

Favicon Best Practices
- Keep your favicon simple — it needs to be recognizable at 16x16 pixels.
- Use 1-2 characters or a simple emoji for text-based favicons.
- High contrast between background and text colors works best.
- Include both .ico and .png formats for maximum browser compatibility.
- Always include an Apple Touch Icon for iOS users.
- Place favicon files in your website's root directory.
