How to Create a Favicon

Creating a favicon is a 60-second job: start from a square, generate a multi-size .ico, and link it in your HTML <head>. This guide walks through every step.

Your source image should be square and at least 512×512. SVG is even better — it scales without quality loss.

The minimum viable setup is a single multi-size favicon.ico. Modern setups also include an SVG, a 180×180 apple-touch-icon, and a 192×192 + 512×512 PNG pair for PWA install prompts.
