Tips
Start with a large image — use at least 512x512 pixels for best quality when scaling down to small sizes.
Use a simple design — favicons are tiny (16x16), so complex logos won't be recognizable. Use a single letter or simple icon.
Add some padding — a 10-15% padding keeps the icon from touching the edges and looking cramped.
Keep it square — always use a square source image to avoid distortion.
Use transparent background — this lets the favicon blend with any browser tab color.

FAQ
A favicon (short for "favorites icon") is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks bars, and mobile home screens. It helps users identify your website visually among many open tabs.
The essential sizes are: 16x16 (browser tab), 32x32 (standard), 180x180 (Apple Touch Icon), 192x192 (Android Chrome), and 512x512 (PWA splash screen). An ICO file containing multiple sizes is also recommended for legacy browsers.
PNG is the most widely used format for modern favicons. The ICO format is needed for older browsers. SVG is gaining support but is not universally recognized yet.
No. Everything happens in your browser. The image is processed locally using Canvas APIs and no data is sent to any server.
This usually happens when the source image is too small. Use an image that is at least 512x512 pixels for best results. The tool scales down from the original, so a larger source means sharper small favicons.
