Favicon generator: your website's icon
The favicon is the small image that appears in the browser tab, bookmarks, and search results. Though it seems like a minor detail, it is a key element of a website's visual identity and affects the perception of professionalism.
Recommended sizes and formats in 2025
- favicon.ico: 16×16 and 32×32 px — the classic, compatible with all browsers.
- apple-touch-icon.png: 180×180 px — for iPhone and iPad.
- android-chrome-192x192.png and 512×512 px — for Android devices.
- favicon.svg: scalable, recommended for modern browsers.
- og-image: 1200×630 px — not a favicon, but complements visual presence.
How to implement the favicon
Add in the <head> of your HTML: <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico">. For better support also add: <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">. A manifest.json file with icon paths improves the PWA installation experience.
Favicon and SEO
Google displays the favicon next to the page title in search results (SERPs). A clear, recognizable favicon can improve CTR (click-through rate) by making your result more memorable and professional among competitors.
