What is a Favicon?
A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small icon that represents your website. It appears in browser tabs, bookmark lists, history, and other places across the web, providing a visual identifier for your brand.
Why are Favicons Important?
- Branding & Identity: A favicon is a key part of your website's branding, making your site instantly recognizable in a sea of browser tabs.
- User Experience: It helps users quickly locate your website when they have multiple tabs open, improving navigation and usability.
- Professionalism & Trust: A well-designed favicon signals that your site is professional and trustworthy. Browsers often show a generic icon for sites without a favicon, which can look unprofessional.
Common Sizes Generated
Different devices and platforms require different favicon sizes. Our generator creates a standard set of PNG favicons to cover the most common use cases:
- 32x32 & 16x16: Standard sizes for most desktop browser tabs.
- 180x180: The recommended size for Apple touch icons (for when users save your site to their home screen on iOS).
- 192x192 & 512x512: Used for Android Chrome web app manifests, providing a high-quality icon for Android devices.
Implementing Your Favicons
After downloading your favicons, you need to add the correct HTML tags to the <head> section of your website's HTML files. Here is a comprehensive example you can adapt:
<!-- Place these in the <head> of your HTML -->
<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"> <!-- Create this file for PWA support -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"> <!-- Optional but good for legacy browsers -->
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#0d6efd">
<meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">Make sure to upload the generated image files to the root directory of your website so the links work correctly.
