How to Create a Favicon for Your Website
The favicon is the tiny icon in the browser tab, bookmarks and history. It's small but important — a missing or generic one makes a site feel unfinished. Here's how to make one properly.
Why it matters
A clear favicon helps users find your tab among many, reinforces your brand, and signals a polished, trustworthy site. Search engines even show favicons next to mobile results now.
The sizes you need
Modern sites need several sizes — 16×16 and 32×32 for tabs, 180×180 for Apple touch icons, 192/512 for Android/PWA, plus a classic favicon.ico. Creating each by hand is tedious; a generator outputs them all from one image.
Generate it
Our free favicon generator turns a single image or logo into every required size plus the HTML tags to drop in. Start from a simple, high-contrast design that's recognisable at 16 pixels.
Bottom line
A favicon is a small detail with outsized impact on perceived professionalism. Design something legible at tiny sizes, generate all the formats at once, and add the provided tags — a five-minute job that makes your site feel complete.
