Favicon Generator

Free tool · by Daniel Haket

Make a clean favicon in seconds — pick a letter or emoji, your colours and a shape, and download it as a PNG for your site's browser tab. No design software needed.

Need more than the free basics? A favicon is a finishing touch — you still need somewhere to host the site. A host like Hostinger gets your domain and site live cheaply and fast.

How to add a favicon to your site

Download the PNG, upload it to your site's root (or assets folder), and add a line to your HTML <head>: <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.png">. Browsers show it in the tab, bookmarks and history. A 180px version doubles as an Apple touch icon. Keep it simple and high-contrast — at 16px, detail disappears, so a single bold letter reads best.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a favicon be?

Provide at least a 32×32px icon for the browser tab and a 180×180px version for Apple touch icons. This tool exports both sizes.

How do I install the favicon?

Upload the PNG to your site and add <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.png"> to your HTML head. Most site builders also have an upload field for it.

Where do I host my website?

Anywhere that serves static files. A budget host like Hostinger gets a domain and site online quickly if you don't have one yet.
