Who Uses This Tool

Use generated icons for standard browser favicons, app shortcuts, internal dashboards, and prototype sites. A 32 by 32 icon is common for browser tabs, while larger sizes can help with touch icons.

Privacy and Limitations

Icon generation happens in the browser. If your logo has fine text or thin lines, simplify it before creating the favicon.

Helpful FAQ

What image works best for a favicon?

A simple square logo or symbol with strong contrast works best. Detailed photos and long words usually become unreadable.

What size should a favicon be?

Common favicon sizes include 16x16, 32x32, and larger app icons. Start from a high-quality square source.

Can I use a transparent background?

Yes, transparent PNG favicons can work well, but test them against light and dark browser backgrounds.

Favicon Preparation Tips

A favicon should remain recognizable at very small sizes. Simple shapes, strong contrast, and minimal text work better than detailed artwork. If your logo has tiny words or thin lines, create a simplified icon version before generating favicon files.

Preview the favicon against light and dark browser themes. A mark that looks good on a white page can disappear on a dark tab bar. Keep enough padding so the icon does not feel cropped.

After generating files, upload them to the expected paths and test in multiple browsers. Browser caching can make favicon changes appear delayed, so use a fresh tab or clear cache when checking.
