What is Favicon Helper & SVG Generator?

What is a Favicon?

A favicon (short for 'favorite icon') is a small icon that represents a website. It is typically displayed in the browser tab, in bookmarks, and on the home screens of mobile devices. A good favicon reinforces your brand identity and improves user experience by making your site easily recognizable among other tabs and bookmarks.

Why is it Important?

Why Use an SVG Favicon and Proper HTML Tags?

  • SVG Favicons: Modern browsers widely support SVG favicons. They are incredibly lightweight, scalable without losing quality, and can even support dark mode variations with a simple media query. Generating one from text or an emoji is a fast way to get a clean, professional-looking favicon.
  • Proper HTML Tags: For maximum compatibility across all browsers and devices (especially older ones and Apple devices), you still need to provide traditional ICO and PNG favicons. Using the correct `rel` and `sizes` attributes in your HTML is crucial for ensuring the right icon is served in the right context (e.g., `apple-touch-icon` for iOS).

Key Benefits

  • Instantly generate a modern SVG favicon from text or an emoji.
  • Customize font, colors, and shape for your SVG favicon.
  • Get the correct, ready-to-copy HTML tags for all standard favicon types (ICO, PNG).
  • Avoid common mistakes in favicon implementation.
  • Improve your website's branding and user experience.
  • No design skills required for simple, clean favicons.
