How to Use Your Favicon
- Design your favicon using the controls
- Click "Generate Favicon" to create it
- Download the .ico file (recommended for maximum compatibility)
- Upload the favicon.ico file to your website's root directory
- Add this code to your HTML section:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
For modern browsers, you can also use PNG format and specify multiple sizes.
Favicon Best Practices
- Simplicity is key: Favicons are displayed at very small sizes (typically 16x16 or 32x32 pixels), so complex designs won't be visible
- High contrast: Ensure your icon stands out against both light and dark browser themes
- Consistency: Your favicon should match your brand identity and website design
- Multiple sizes: Provide favicons in multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32, 64x64) for different devices
- File formats: While .ico is the traditional format, modern browsers also support PNG and SVG
