About the Favicon Generator
A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results next to your site's name. It seems minor, but it is one of the strongest quick signals of professionalism — a site without one looks unfinished, and Google now displays favicons directly in mobile search results, where a missing icon costs you clicks.
This free tool generates a complete favicon set from your logo or any image: every size modern browsers, iPhones, and Android devices expect, plus the HTML code to install them. No design software needed — upload, generate, download, done.
How to Create a Favicon
- 1Upload your logo or a square image — PNG with a transparent background works best.
- 2Preview how the favicon looks at small sizes in a browser tab.
- 3Download the generated favicon package with all required sizes.
- 4Copy the provided HTML tags into your site's <head> section, or send the package to your developer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a favicon be?
The classic favicon.ico is 32×32 pixels, but modern sites need multiple sizes: 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs, 180×180 for Apple touch icons, and 192×192 plus 512×512 for Android and PWA icons. This generator produces the full set automatically.
Does a favicon affect SEO?
Indirectly, yes. Google shows favicons in mobile search results, and a recognisable icon improves click-through rate. Google's guidelines also require the favicon to be a multiple of 48px and representative of your brand — a missing or broken favicon can make your listing look less trustworthy.
What image works best as a favicon?
A simple, bold mark — a single letter, symbol, or simplified logo. Detailed logos with text become unreadable at 16×16 pixels. If your logo is complex, extract its simplest recognisable element and use that.
How do I add a favicon to my website?
Upload the generated files to your website's root or images folder, then paste the provided link tags into the <head> of your HTML. On WordPress, you can set it under Appearance → Customise → Site Identity. If Desishub built your site, favicons are already handled.
Why isn't my favicon showing up in Google?
Google caches favicons and can take days or weeks to refresh them. Ensure the file is accessible (not blocked by robots.txt), at least 48×48 pixels, and referenced correctly in your HTML, then request re-indexing in Google Search Console.
