Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tool free?
Yes, it is 100% free with no sign-up. There are no limits on how many times you can use it.
Why does this download a PNG instead of an .ico file?
A PNG favicon works in every modern browser when linked with <link rel="icon">. A true multi-size .ico file needs a server-side encoder, so this tool gives you the PNG that works as a favicon everywhere it matters.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server and never leave your device.
What makes a good favicon?
A simple, bold shape or letter on a plain background. Fine detail disappears at 16 pixels, so avoid photos and thin text.
