Turn a logo into a favicon
Your logo was drawn for a business card or a header, not for sixteen pixels. Drop it in, give it a background and some breathing room, and every icon size is made from it, centred and sharp. Nothing is uploaded: every file is made in your browser.

Rounding applies to the browser and Android icons. The touch icon and the maskable icon are always full squares.

Paste these lines inside the <head> of every page.
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" sizes="48x48" href="/favicon.ico"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" type="image/png" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png"> <link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest"> <meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">
Add this to your root layout (app/layout.tsx).
import type { Metadata, Viewport } from "next";
export const metadata: Metadata = {
icons: {
icon: [
{ url: "/favicon.ico", sizes: "48x48", type: "image/x-icon" },
{ url: "/favicon-16x16.png", sizes: "16x16", type: "image/png" },
{ url: "/favicon-32x32.png", sizes: "32x32", type: "image/png" },
],
apple: [

},
manifest: "/site.webmanifest",
};
export const viewport: Viewport = {
themeColor: "#ffffff",
};
Add this to your theme's functions.php, with the icon files in the folder you typed above.
add_action( 'wp_head', 'add_site_favicon_links', 5 );
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_site_icon', 99 );
function add_site_favicon_links() {
?>

More favicon ideas
How it works
Choose where the icon comes from
Type one to three characters, pick an emoji, choose a simple shape, or drop in your own PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG. Nothing is uploaded; the picture stays in this tab.
Style it
Pick a flat colour or a soft gradient, round the corners, and set the padding. The browser tab icon, the phone home screen icon and the Android icon all update as you change a setting.
Check every file
Each file is listed with its size and what it is for, so you can see that the touch icon fills its whole square and the Android icon keeps your logo inside the safe circle.
Download and paste
Download the package as one ZIP, with a plain-language README and ready-made snippets, or take the files one by one. Upload the icons to the folder you typed under Site details, then paste the lines for your HTML, Next.js or WordPress head.
Questions about a logo to favicon
How do I make a logo to favicon?
The page opens with your own image; change it, the colours, the rounding and the padding as you like, and every file updates at once. Then open Site details and code, choose HTML and copy it. The code already uses the folder /. Use a square version of the logo, or only its symbol. A wide wordmark shrinks until the letters cannot be read.
What file should I start with for the sharpest result?
An SVG or a PNG of at least 512 pixels square. Small or blurry sources are scaled up, and the icon will look soft. The page tells you when the picture is small.
Where do I put the files for a logo to favicon?
Put the files in the top folder of your site, or in a subfolder you type under Site details, and the code below follows your choice.
Is anything uploaded when I make a logo to favicon?
No. Your file is opened by your own browser and drawn into each icon on your device, so the picture behind your logo to favicon never reaches a server and the page keeps working offline once loaded.
