FAQ

What is the best favicon generator?

Pick one that runs in your browser, outputs a multi-size .ico, and does not upload your image to a server. FetchFavicon processes files client-side.

Are free favicon generators safe?

Client-side tools are safest — your logo never leaves your device. Avoid generators that require uploading to an unknown server.

What should a favicon generator output?

At minimum a multi-size favicon.ico. Better tools also export PNG variants, SVG, apple-touch-icon, and paste-ready HTML tags.

Do I need to sign up for a favicon generator?

No. FetchFavicon and similar in-browser tools work without an account.
