How to Create a Custom Favicon for Your Website
Updated 2026-02-18Verified Private
A favicon is that small icon in your browser tab. It's a tiny detail that makes your website look professional and trustworthy.
Why is this needed?
Browsers require specific formats and sizes (like 16x16, 32x32, or .ico) that standard image editors make difficult to export.
!Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Upload your Square Logo
For best results, use a square image (e.g., 512x512). Our tool will handle the scaling.
2
Generate the Package
Tulz doesn't just give you one file; we generate a full bundle for modern browsers, Apple icons, and Android.
3
Add to your Website
Download the zip file and copy the provided HTML code into the <head> of your site.
Pro Tips
- •Keep it simple. At 16x16 pixels, complex logos become a blur. Use a single letter or a bold shape.
- •Use a transparent background (PNG) so the icon looks good on both Light and Dark mode browser tabs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an .ico file?
An legacy image format specifically designed to hold multiple sizes of the same icon in one file.
Where do I put the favicon.ico file?
Usually in the 'root' directory of your website (e.g., yourdomain.com/favicon.ico).
