Why do you need a Favicon Generator?
A favicon is much more than just a small icon in a browser tab. It is a fundamental part of your brand's identity and user experience. With the fragmentation of devices, a simple 16x16 icon is no longer enough. You need specific formats for high-resolution displays, mobile devices, and home screen shortcuts.
What's included in the package?
Our tool generates a comprehensive set of assets following modern web standards:
- favicon.ico: The classic format for backward compatibility with older browsers.
- PNG Icons (16x16 & 32x32): Optimized for standard desktop browsers.
- Apple Touch Icon (180x180): Used by iOS devices when users add your site to their home screen.
- Android Chrome Icons (192x192 & 512x512): High-resolution icons for Android devices and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).
- site.webmanifest: A JSON file that tells browsers how your app should behave when installed on a device.
How to use your new Favicon
After downloading the .zip package, extract the files to your website's root directory and add the following code to your HTML <head>:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png"> <link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">
Boost your SEO and UX
Search engines like Google now display favicons in mobile search results. A professional, clear icon can significantly improve your click-through rate (CTR). Furthermore, having the correct touch icons ensures that your brand looks premium on every device, from iPhones to Android tablets.
