About Favicons
A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small icon that represents your website. It appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and on mobile device home screens.
Generated Files

Best Practices
- Use a square image for best results. Non-square images will be center-cropped.
- Start with a high-resolution image (at least 512×512 pixels) for crisp icons at all sizes.
- Keep your design simple and recognizable at small sizes like 16×16 pixels.
- Use SVG format if possible for the sharpest results when scaling.
