Favicon Generator
Welcome to Momentous Journey’s Favicon Generator – the easy, fast way to generate clean, polished icons for your website, bookmarks, and device shortcuts. No skills needed: upload your image, click Generate, download, and add to your site.
How It Works
Here’s a simple, 3-step guide so you know exactly what to expect:
- Upload Your Image: Supported file types: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, or SVG. Make sure your image is clear and large enough (higher resolution helps) so small icons stay sharp.
- Generate & Download: Click Generate Favicon → wait a few moments → download all icon files in one package. You’ll also get instructions for adding them to your website.
- Add to Your Website: Upload the icon files to your site’s directory (root or images folder). Insert the proper
<link>tags in the<head>section of your HTML. Example:
<link rel=”icon” type=”image/png” sizes=”32×32″ href=”/favicon-32×32.png”>
<link rel=”icon” href=”/favicon.svg” type=”image/svg+xml”>
<link rel=”apple-touch-icon” sizes=”180×180″ href=”/apple-touch-icon-180×180.png”>
What Is a Favicon & Why It Matters
- Definition: A favicon is a small icon associated with a website, shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, device home screens.
- Branding & UX: It builds credibility, helps users find your site among many tabs, increases user trust.
- SEO & Visibility: Search engines display favicons in mobile searches/browsers, which can improve click-through rates. Correct formats help compatibility and performance.
Best Practices for Favicons
- Use simple designs — too much detail gets lost at small sizes.
- Maintain contrast — ensure icon is visible on light and dark backgrounds.
- Use square aspect ratios so the icon displays correctly everywhere.
- Test on different devices: desktop, mobile, tablets.
- Include
SVGformat for scalability, while still providing PNG formats for older browsers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need all those sizes?
Using multiple sizes ensures your icon looks good in different contexts (tiny tabs, mobile home screens). If you skip some, in certain browsers/devices the icon may look blurry or missing.
Why use SVG?
SVG scale cleanly without losing quality. Great for high-DPI screens. But some browsers/devices don’t support all features, so PNG fallbacks are useful.
How long until my favicon shows up?
Often instantly after uploading and adding correct tags, but sometimes due to browser cache it may take a few minutes or hours. Clear cache if needed.
