About the ICO Converter
The TechnoCodex ICO Converter is the perfect tool for creating your website’s favicon. Specifically, a favicon provides a memorable visual marker that helps users identify your site in a browser tab. As a result, our tool makes creating a high-quality, compatible .ico file incredibly simple.
For example, you just upload your logo or any square image, and we’ll instantly generate a multi-layer favicon. In addition, you get a live preview of how your icon will look in a browser tab. Because this ICO converter runs entirely in your browser, we never upload your brand assets, which ultimately ensures complete privacy.
How to Use the ICO Converter
- First, select your image. For the best results, you should upload a square image (like a 256×256 pixel PNG). For instance, you can drag and drop your file or click “Select Image.”
- Next, review the previews. The tool instantly shows you how your new favicon will look in a browser tab and as a bookmark icon.
- Finally, click the “Download .ico File” button. After that, the tool saves your multi-size favicon to your device, ready for you to upload to your website.
Your Privacy is Guaranteed
We designed this ICO converter to be 100% client-side. This means the entire process of converting your image into an .ico file happens on your own computer. Consequently, we never send or store your images and logos on our servers, which guarantees your data remains completely confidential.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a favicon?
A favicon (short for ‘favorite icon’) provides a recognizable visual brand for your site in a browser tab. Furthermore, browsers also use it in bookmark lists and on mobile home screens.
What is the best image size for a favicon?
To begin, for best results, you should upload a square image, ideally 256×256 pixels or larger. After that, our tool automatically scales your image down to the required sizes (like 32×32 and 16×16) and packages them into a single .ico file.
Is it safe to convert my logo here?
Yes, absolutely. This ICO Converter operates entirely in your browser. Therefore, we never upload your logo or image to our servers. In fact, the entire conversion process happens securely on your own device, ensuring your brand assets remain private.
