I generated a favicon from our brand initials in our exact brand blue in under 30 seconds. The circle shape option gives a modern app-icon feel. The Apple Touch 180×180 download is a bonus I didn't expect.

The HTML link tag generator that shows the exact code to paste in is incredibly thoughtful. I can hand this to a junior developer and they know exactly what to do. Zero friction.

Emoji favicons at 256×256 look crisp on retina displays. The 16px preview showing how it looks in a browser tab is the most important feature — many tools skip this. Perfect for quick prototypes.

Image upload mode resizes my logo to favicon dimensions perfectly. The multiple size downloads mean I can cover all the base cases (16, 32, 180, 256) in one session. No registration, no watermarks.

Where do I put the favicon files?+
Place favicon.ico, favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png and apple-touch-icon.png in the root of your website. Then add the link tags in your HTML . Browsers automatically look for /favicon.ico without a link tag.
