What is a Favicon and Why Do You Need One?

What is a Favicon?

A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small icon, typically 16x16 pixels or 32x32 pixels, associated with a particular website or web page. It is displayed in browser tabs, bookmark lists, address bars, and other places where a website needs a visual identity.

Why Are Favicons Important?

  • Brand Recognition: A favicon helps reinforce your brand identity and makes your website more recognizable among many open tabs or bookmarks.
  • User Experience: It provides a quick visual cue for users, helping them locate your tab or bookmark easily.
  • Professionalism: A missing favicon can make a website look incomplete or unprofessional.
  • Device & Platform Support: Modern websites need various icon sizes for different devices (desktops, tablets, smartphones) and platforms (iOS Safari, Android Chrome, Windows Tiles, etc.). This tool helps generate common sizes.

Common Favicon Types & Sizes Generated:

This tool typically helps you generate:

  • favicon.ico (often containing 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 pixel versions)
  • PNG icons in various sizes like:
    • 16x16, 32x32 (standard favicons)
