WHAT IS A FAVICON GENERATOR?
A favicon generator is a tool that converts an image or text into the small icons browsers display in tabs, bookmarks and home screens. FaviconX does this entirely in your browser — your image is never uploaded to a server, and you can download ICO and PNG favicons in every standard size for free.
Short, direct answers to the most common favicon questions.
A favicon is the small icon a browser displays next to a website's title in the tab, address bar, bookmarks and browser history. It is usually a square PNG or ICO file, commonly 16×16 or 32×32 pixels.
A 16×16 or 32×32 PNG is the minimum for browser tabs. A complete set also includes 48×48 (Windows), 180×180 (Apple touch icon), 192×192 and 512×512 (Android/PWA) and 270×270 (Windows tile).
Use a multi-resolution ICO for maximum compatibility with older browsers and Windows, plus PNG files for modern browsers. Linking an ICO together with 16×16 and 32×32 PNGs covers every current browser.
Upload your favicon files to your theme folder and add the link tags to header.php inside the <head>, or use the Site Icon setting under Appearance → Customize. Clear your caching plugin afterwards.
The most common causes are browser caching, an incorrect file path, a 404 on the file, an unsupported format, or a non-square source image. Do a hard refresh and open the favicon URL directly in your browser to verify it loads.
Yes. FaviconX is 100% free and processes everything in your browser with the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded, stored or shared, and you never need an account.
