Favicon Generator

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

Favicon is a small icon that appears in the browser tabs, bookmarks, and device shortcuts. The favicon generator helps to convert one image into several sizes and formats that are required by the browser and operating system. By providing a number of sizes, the icon remains sharp both on small tabs and on high-resolution screens.
