How to Generate a Favicon for Your Website (The Easy Way)

Creating a favicon shouldn’t take longer than launching your site.

But if you’ve ever opened a design tool just to resize a logo, crop an icon, or convert to .ico, you know the headache. That’s why we built the Favicon Generator inside UtilWiz.

It’s a quick, code-free way to create the perfect favicon for your website—in seconds.


What’s a Favicon?

A favicon is the tiny icon that shows up:

  • In your browser tab
  • On bookmarks
  • In mobile shortcuts
  • And sometimes even in search previews

It might be small, but it’s part of your brand identity. A polished favicon helps make your site look complete, professional, and trustworthy.


Why Most People Overcomplicate It

You don’t need:

  • A full-blown design tool
  • Photoshop templates
  • Manual file conversion steps
  • Stress about formats or sizes

With the Favicon Generator inside UtilWiz, you upload a single image and get a favicon in the right formats—done.


What You Can Do with the Favicon Generator

  • Upload an existing logo or image (JPG, PNG, SVG, etc.)
  • Instantly generate a .ico file in proper dimensions
  • Preview how your favicon looks in a browser tab
  • Download ready-to-use assets for web and mobile
  • No design or dev experience required

It’s especially handy for:

  • Indie hackers
  • Startup founders
  • Portfolio creators
  • Personal websites
  • One-page tools

Bonus: It works great even with low-res or transparent images. Just drop it in and go.


How to Use It

  1. Open the Favicon Generator
  2. Upload your image file (transparent PNG or SVG works best)
  3. Download the generated .ico file or PNG preview
  4. Drop it into your site’s root folder
  5. Add this to your <head>:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
