What is a Favicon?
A favicon (short for "favourite icon") is the small icon displayed in a browser tab, bookmarks bar, and search results next to your website's name. It plays a key role in brand recognition and user experience. The standard format is favicon.ico, but modern browsers also support PNG and SVG favicons at various sizes.
FileNexa generates all the necessary sizes — 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, and 180×180 (Apple Touch Icon) — from a single image, right in your browser.

Tips & Value-Added Info
- Use a square image: Start with a square image (1:1 aspect ratio) for the best result — the generator will resize it correctly.
- Simple designs work best: Favicons are tiny — bold, simple logos with high contrast are more recognisable at 16×16 px.
- All sizes in one click: Download a ZIP bundle containing all standard favicon sizes ready to drop into your project.
- Apple Touch Icon: The 180×180 PNG is required for your site to display a proper icon when added to an iPhone home screen.
