How to use
- Upload your logo. A square PNG or SVG with a transparent background gives the cleanest result. JPGs work too.
- Adjust. Add a background colour if your logo needs one, pad it so it doesn't touch the edges, and round the corners for a modern app-icon look.
- Download and install. Grab all the files, put them in your site root, then paste the HTML snippet into the
<head>of every page.
FAQ
Which favicon sizes do I actually need?
A modern set is: favicon.ico (16, 32 and 48 px for old browsers and Windows), favicon-32x32.png for browser tabs, apple-touch-icon.png at 180 px for iOS home screens, and 192 px and 512 px PNGs referenced from a web manifest for Android and PWA installs. This tool produces exactly that set.
Is a PNG inside an ICO file valid?
Yes. The ICO container has allowed PNG-compressed entries since Windows Vista, and every current browser supports it. It keeps the file small while preserving full alpha transparency.
Can I convert an SVG to a favicon?
Yes. SVG files are rasterised at high resolution before being scaled down, so lines stay crisp even at 16 px. You may also want to keep the SVG itself and link it with rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" for browsers that support it.
Why doesn't my new favicon show up?
Browsers cache favicons aggressively. Do a hard refresh, open the site in a private window, or add a query string such as favicon.ico?v=2 to the link tags.
