Design tips

Keep it simple at 16×16

  • Use one clear symbol, letter, or logo mark.
  • Keep visual elements simple because favicons are small.
  • Use high contrast between the icon and its background.
  • Avoid small text and fine details.
  • Test the 16×16 preview before downloading.
  • Use PNG files for broad modern-browser compatibility.

Installation

Add favicons to your website

HTML website

Upload the PNG files to your public root (or /icons). Paste the <link> tags from the Installation code panel into your <head>.

Next.js

Place files in the public directory, then add icon metadata or <link> tags in your root layout. Paths like /favicon-32x32.png resolve from public/.

WordPress

Use Appearance → Customize → Site Identity → Site Icon for a basic site icon. Exact options can vary by theme or WordPress version.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this favicon generator free?
Yes. Create, preview, and download favicon PNG files at no cost — no signup and no watermark.
Are my uploaded images sent to a server?
No. Image processing happens entirely in your browser. Files are never uploaded to Optisio servers.
What image size should I upload?
A square image around 512×512 or larger works best. Simple logos and marks stay clearer at tiny tab sizes than detailed photos.
Can I create a favicon without a logo?
Yes. Switch to From Initials, enter one to three characters, pick a preset, and export PNG files immediately.
What favicon sizes should I download?
Use 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs, 180×180 for Apple touch icons, and 192×192 / 512×512 for PWA-style icons. The PNG pack includes all of these.
Why does my favicon look blurry or too small?
Favicons are tiny. Prefer a single letter or bold mark, high contrast, and check the 16×16 preview before exporting.
Can I use a PNG favicon instead of an ICO file?
Yes. Most modern browsers support PNG favicons. This tool prioritizes reliable PNG downloads for broad compatibility.
How do I add the downloaded favicon to my website?
Place the PNG files in your public folder or site root, then add the HTML <link> tags from the Installation code panel — or use your platform’s site icon setting.
