Frequently asked questions

What is a favicon?

A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, history and search results next to your website name. Modern sites also need larger versions for iPhone and Android home screens, Windows tiles and Progressive Web Apps.

Which image formats can I upload?

You can upload PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, SVG or an existing ICO file. For the sharpest result use a square image of at least 512 × 512 pixels with a transparent background.

What does the favicon package contain?

A multi-size favicon.ico (16, 32 and 48 px), PNG favicons, all Apple touch icons, Android and PWA icons including a maskable icon, Windows tile images, manifest.json, site.webmanifest, browserconfig.xml and a readme file with installation steps and the ready-to-paste HTML code.

Is MakeFav free?

Yes. Generating, editing and downloading favicons is completely free. You only need a free account with a confirmed email address; free accounts include our newsletter, sent at most once a week.

Why do I need an account to download?

Accounts protect the service against abuse and hot-linking, keep a history of your favicon packages and give you personal API keys. Generated icons are never published or hot-linked from our servers – you host them yourself.

How do I install the favicon on my website?

Unzip the package, upload all files to the root folder of your website and paste the HTML snippet into the <head> section of every page. The same code is also at the end of readme-makefav.txt in the package.

Do I still need favicon.ico in 2026?

Yes. Many tools, crawlers and older browsers still request /favicon.ico automatically. Combine it with PNG and SVG icons and a web manifest for the best coverage.

Can I generate favicons automatically?

Yes. Use the MakeFav REST API with your personal API key to generate complete favicon packages from your build pipeline, CMS or app. See the API documentation for code examples.
