What is a favicon?
A favicon is the small icon you see in a browser tab next to your website title. A clear favicon helps people recognise your site at a glance, and makes your site look finished and professional.
How to make a favicon, step by step
- Open the Favicon Generator tool on Streams8K.
- Choose a PNG or JPG image from your device.
- Pick the size you need.
- Download the .ico file, then add it to your website.
Everything runs in your browser, so your image is not uploaded to a server.
Tips for a good favicon
Use a simple, bold image with strong contrast, because a favicon is very small. A logo mark or a single letter usually works better than a detailed photo.

Tips for best results
- Use a simple, bold image with strong contrast, because a favicon is very small.
- A single letter or a logo mark usually works better than a detailed photo, which turns into a blur at that size.
- Check how the icon looks in a real browser tab before you finish. What looks good large can look messy small.
- Keep the original image, so you can try a different crop or a simpler version if the first one does not read well.
- Pick the size you need for your site, as the guide explains, rather than guessing. The tool gives you a real .ico file to add to your website.
