How to Generate a Favicon for Your Website (The Easy Way)

How to Generate a Favicon for Your Website (The Easy Way)

A good favicon makes your website feel polished—and trustworthy. But generating all the right sizes and configs for different browsers, platforms, and devices? That part's annoying.

That’s why we built a free Favicon Generator designed to give you everything you need in one click.


What Is a Favicon (And Why It Matters)

A favicon is the tiny icon that appears:

  • In browser tabs
  • In bookmarks
  • On mobile home screens
  • In search engine previews (sometimes)

It might be small, but it’s part of your brand. A missing or low-quality favicon can make your site feel incomplete or unprofessional.


Why Generating a Favicon Is So Painful

To do it manually, you’d have to:

  • Resize your image to a bunch of different sizes (16x16, 32x32, 180x180, etc.)
  • Create multiple file formats (ICO, PNG, SVG)
  • Add a manifest.json and browser config files
  • Link everything correctly in your HTML

That’s why most people either skip it or settle for a single 32x32 image—which doesn’t cut it on modern devices.


Our Free Favicon Generator: All-in-One

Head over to our tool on UtilWiz - Favicon Generator and get everything you need in one go.

🧰 Here's what it gives you:

  • ✅ Upload any image (PNG, JPG, SVG)

  • ✅ Auto-generates a full favicon package
  • ✅ Includes:
    • All common icon sizes (16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 180×180, etc.)
    • manifest.json file
    • browserconfig.xml (for Windows tiles)
    • Proper <link> tag suggestions
  • ✅ Download everything as a ZIP folder

Why It’s Better Than Most Favicon Tools

Most favicon tools:

  • Don’t give you a manifest file
  • Require you to register or pay for full access
  • Only output a single image
  • Don’t support vector formats like SVG

We designed this one to just work. No signup, no weird output, no missed files.


How to Use It (Quick Start)

  1. Go to Favicon Generator
  2. Enter your app or site name
  3. Upload your logo or image (we support SVG, PNG, JPG)
  4. Click "Generate Favicon"
  5. Download your ZIP file and drop it into your project

You'll also get a snippet of HTML you can paste into your site’s <head> section.
