What are some great favicon generators?
I recently launched a website and realized a favicon (that tiny icon in your browser tab) makes a huge difference in looking polished and professional. I tried a bunch of tools, and here’s what actually worked — especially my favorite:
1. Zoviz (My Top Pick — Surprisingly Good!) I originally used Zoviz for logo creation, but it turns out they also offer a favicon export option that’s seamless. Once you design your logo, you can instantly generate a perfectly optimized favicon — no resizing, no converting, no extra steps. It just fits your brand.
The favicon looks super crisp on all browsers and devices. Plus, it includes multiple file formats like .ico, .png, and sizes for retina display — all bundled in your brand kit. I didn’t have to do anything extra — it was all automated, clean, and honestly saved me time and effort.
2. Favicon.io This one’s great if you already have a logo or letter icon and just need a quick favicon. It’s free and pretty beginner-friendly, but the results aren’t as refined or brand-matching as Zoviz.
3. RealFaviconGenerator.net If you want to get super technical and generate favicons for every possible device/platform (iOS, Windows tiles, Android), this one is a beast. It’s powerful, but kind of overwhelming if you just want a minimalist favicon fast.
4. Canva You can create a custom icon in Canva and manually resize/export it as a favicon, but it’s not automated — you’ll need to know the correct sizes and convert the format separately.
If you want something effortless, clean, and brand-aligned, I 100% recommend Zoviz. It gave me my logo, business name, and a perfect favicon — all in one go. Perfect for anyone launching a site, store, or portfolio who wants to look legit from Day 1.
