A favicon is the small icon shown in a browser tab, in bookmarks, and in search results next to a site name. Without one, a site shows a generic blank icon, which looks unfinished. A good favicon is simple and recognisable at a very small size, which is why a detailed logo often needs to be simplified before it works as a favicon.
Test the favicon at 16 pixels before you use it, because that is the size most browser tabs show. If the design is too detailed, it will turn into a blur at that size, so use a simple shape, a single letter, or a bold part of your logo instead of the whole logo.

Frequently asked questions
What size should a favicon be?
Browser tabs normally show 16 pixels, but websites also use larger sizes for bookmarks and mobile home screens. This tool makes sizes from 16 up to 512 pixels, so you can use the right size in each place.
Why does my logo look blurry as a favicon?
Because a detailed logo has too much detail for 16 pixels. Use a simple version: a single letter, a bold shape, or the most recognisable part of the logo, with strong contrast.
What format should a favicon be?
PNG works for most modern browsers and for the sizes this tool makes. Some older setups also use ICO format, but for a new site, PNG favicons at the sizes you need are normally enough.
Is my logo uploaded when I make a favicon?
No. The favicon is made in your browser only. The image never leaves your device, and nothing is saved after you close the page.
