Terms and Conditions

Effective date: 29 October 2026

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of MakeFav.com and all related services, including the favicon generator, pixel editor, favicon checker, REST API, newsletter and blog (together, the “Service”). By using the Service or creating an account, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

How we handle personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

2. Who we are

The Service is operated by:

• Webmint s.r.o., Jana Želivského 2, 130 00 Praha 3, Czech Republic
• Company ID (IČO): 27888819, VAT ID (DIČ): CZ27888819
• Registered in the Commercial Register at the Municipal Court in Prague, file no. C 124216
• Email: [email protected], contact page: makefav.com/contact

In these Terms, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Webmint s.r.o., and “you” refers to the person using the Service.

3. Description of the Service

MakeFav is a free online favicon generator. You can upload an image (PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, SVG or ICO) and generate favicon.ico, PNG favicons, Apple touch icons, Android/PWA icons, Windows tiles, a manifest.json file and ready-to-use HTML code, and download everything as a ZIP file. The Service also includes:

• a pixel editor for creating and editing icons;
• a favicon checker that fetches a public URL you enter and reads its icon declarations;
• a REST API with personal API keys;
• a blog and a newsletter;
• a user interface in 52 languages.

Generating and previewing favicons is possible without an account. Downloading favicon packages and using the API requires a free account.

4. Account registration

• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
• You must provide accurate information and confirm your email address.
• An account is personal and may be used by one person only. Do not share your account.
• Keep your password secret and notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access. You are responsible for activity under your account unless it results from our fault.
• You can sign up with email and password or with Google Sign-In.

5. The free plan and the newsletter

MakeFav does not charge a fee and does not display advertising. The free plan (downloading favicon packages and API access) is provided in exchange for your subscription to the MakeFav newsletter. This is the consideration for the free plan, and we want it to be clear and fair:

• The newsletter is sent at most once per week.
• You give your consent separately and explicitly at registration (an unticked checkbox, or an explicit statement when using “Continue with Google”).
• You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in each email, one-click unsubscribe, or your account settings.
• If you unsubscribe, downloads and API access are paused until you subscribe again. Generating and previewing favicons remains available, and your account is not deleted.

We may change, limit or discontinue the free plan or any part of the Service, for example for technical, security or economic reasons. If we make a material change to the free plan, we will notify registered users in advance by email or on the website.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• upload, create or distribute content that is illegal, harmful, hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or that violates the rights of others;
• infringe intellectual property rights – you must own, or have the necessary rights to, every image you upload. For example, do not use logos or trademarks that you are not entitled to use;
• upload malware or files designed to damage or exploit systems;
• scrape the Service, access it by automated means other than through the official API, or circumvent rate limits, bot protection or other security measures;
• overload, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, its servers or other users’ accounts;
• use the favicon checker to probe non-public, internal or third-party systems you are not authorised to access;
• create multiple accounts to avoid limits, or resell access to the Service.

We may remove content, limit access or suspend accounts that breach these rules.

7. Your content and your favicons

• You keep all rights to the images you upload.
• You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, process and convert your images only as necessary to provide the Service to you (for example, to generate, preview and let you download favicon packages). This licence ends when the files are deleted.
• We never publish your images or favicons, there is no public gallery and we do not allow hot-linking of your files from our servers.
• The favicons you generate belong to you. You may use them freely, including for commercial purposes. We add no watermark and require no attribution.
• You are responsible for making sure that your use of the uploaded images and generated favicons complies with the law and the rights of third parties.

Retention periods for uploaded images and generated packages are described in our Privacy Policy.

8. API terms

• API keys are personal and confidential. Do not publish them (for example in public code repositories or client-side code) and do not share them with others.
• The API is subject to rate limits, which are described in the developer documentation and may change over time.
• API access requires an active account with an active newsletter subscription (see section 5).
• We may suspend or revoke API keys if they are misused, compromised, used in breach of these Terms, or if this is necessary to protect the Service.
• We may change or version the API. Where reasonably possible, we will announce breaking changes in advance.

9. Our intellectual property

The website, its design, source code, texts, blog articles, the MakeFav name and logo and other materials of the Service (excluding your content) are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. These Terms do not grant you any rights to them other than the right to use the Service as intended.

10. Availability and no warranty

We work hard to keep MakeFav reliable, but the Service is provided free of charge “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or that generated files will be suitable for every purpose, browser or platform. We may carry out maintenance, updates and changes that temporarily affect availability. Please keep your own copies of any files you need.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, loss of profit, loss of data or business interruption arising from the use of, or inability to use, the Service.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law. If you are a consumer in the European Union or another country with mandatory consumer protection, you keep all your statutory rights, and nothing in these Terms affects them.

12. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to compensate us for reasonable costs and damages (including reasonable legal fees) arising from third-party claims caused by your breach of these Terms or by content you uploaded in violation of third-party rights. This does not apply where you are not at fault.

13. Termination

• You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account in Security & privacy. Deleting your account removes your account data and stored favicon packages as described in our Privacy Policy.
• We may suspend or terminate your account if you seriously or repeatedly breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Where reasonable, we will notify you and give you the opportunity to respond.
• We may also close accounts that have been inactive for a long period, after prior notice by email.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available on this page with its effective date. We will notify registered users of material changes by email or by a notice on the website before they take effect. If you do not agree with the changes, you may delete your account; continuing to use the Service after the changes take effect means you accept them.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic. Courts in Prague, Czech Republic, have jurisdiction over disputes. If you are a consumer, this choice of law and jurisdiction does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country where the law allows it.

Out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes

If you are a consumer and we cannot resolve a dispute with you directly, you may turn to the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce, ČOI), which is the competent body for out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes: www.coi.cz. You can also use the European Commission’s online dispute resolution information at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Users in the United States

We do not require arbitration and these Terms contain no class-action waiver. We encourage you to contact us first at [email protected] so that we can try to resolve any concern informally.

16. Miscellaneous

• Severability: if any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
• No waiver: our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Language: these Terms are written in English. Translations are provided for convenience; in case of discrepancy, the English version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
