I need a favicon for my website

Give your site the little tab icon. Start from a simple, bold logo and export the small square sizes browsers expect.

The quick answer

A favicon is the tiny icon in a browser tab. To make one, crop your logo to a square and export it at the small sizes browsers use (16×16, 32×32 and 48×48 pixels) as PNG (modern browsers accept PNG favicons). Our Crop, Resize and SVG Icon tools do this in your browser. Use a simple, high-contrast mark so it reads at 16px.

How to fix it

Follow these steps and you'll have it sorted in a couple of minutes.

  1. 1

    Start with a square, simple mark

    Favicons are tiny. Crop your logo to a 1:1 square and keep it bold and high-contrast so it's legible at 16px.

  2. 2

    Resize to the icon sizes

    Export 16×16, 32×32 and 48×48 versions with the Image Resizer: the common favicon sizes.

  3. 3

    Save as PNG

    Modern browsers accept PNG favicons. For a crisp scalable source, an SVG icon works too.

  4. 4

    Add it to your site

    Reference it in your HTML head with a link rel="icon" tag pointing at the file.

Common mistakes to avoid
  • Using a detailed logo that turns into an unreadable blob at 16px, simplify to a single strong shape or letter.
  • Exporting only a large image. Browsers want small icon sizes, so resize down to 16/32/48px.
  • Forgetting to reference it in the HTML head, so the browser never loads it.
