What Is a Favicon?
A favicon (short for "favorites icon") is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and history. The standard format is ICO, which can contain multiple sizes of the same icon. This converter creates a 32x32 pixel ICO file from your PNG image, which is the most common favicon size used by modern browsers.
Tips for Great Favicons
- Start with a square PNG image (ideally 512x512 or larger)
- Use simple, recognizable shapes — details get lost at small sizes
- Ensure good contrast between the icon and background
- Test your favicon against both light and dark browser themes
- Use transparency for a clean look in browser tabs
How to Add a Favicon to Your Website
After converting your PNG to ICO, upload the file to your website's root directory and add this line to your HTML head:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">Most browsers also look for favicon.ico in the root directory automatically, so simply placing the file at yourdomain.com/favicon.ico often works without any HTML changes.
