You spent hours on design, colors, graphics... How much time left for the favicon? Probably not much. But no worries, you only need a few minutes to tackle this task.

Compelling design, a platform at a time

Each platform comes with its own design requirements. You can't just use the same picture everywhere. RealFaviconGenerator knows this and lets you craft your icons platform per platform.

How will Android display my icon? How will iOS round my Touch icon? No more guesswork. RealFaviconGenerator instantly shows you how your icons will look like.

All the resources you need for a perfect favicon

Whether you are looking for a quick online service or a full solution to handle more complex cases, RealFaviconGenerator has the right tools for you.

Favicon online creation

How lucky! You've just found the best favicon generator on the web 😅 Installing a favicon depends greatly on the technology you're working with. This is why RealFaviconGenerator comes in different flavors.

Favicon knowledge base and reference

RealFaviconGenerator is based on a ton of research and tests. The favicon blog contains a lot of information about favicons, from how to create an SVG favicon to what Android does with the icons it gets, from how RealFaviconGenerator tests favicon in the wild to the scaling algorithm iOS used to process the touch icon, and much more.

The FAQ has also a lot of information about favicon, such as the current and past conventions, etc.

Favicon verification

Your favicon is ready. But does it work?

If your website is online, use the favicon checker. RealFaviconGenerator verifies your favicon, lets you know how your site appears on various platforms, and give you hints if something is wrong.

If your website is still under development and running on your local machine, use RealFaviconGenerator's CLI tool withnpx realfavicon check <port> (for example, npx realfavicon check 3000).

Advanced usage

As a developer, you often need more than an online tool.

Command line

To work in a CLI environment, use npx realfavicon:

  • To create a favicon, use npx realfavicon generate (...). Don't waste your time learning a new CLI. Rather use the favicon creation via CLI tool to get started.
  • To check the favicon of the web app you're working on, runnpx realfavicon check <post>. For example, to verify the icons of a Next.js app, you're probably going to usenpx realfavicon check 3000.

TypeScript/JavaScript for Node and your favorite server-side runtime

You can generate icons and markups right from your code, using the same module RealFaviconGenerator uses internally, @realfavicongenerator/generate-favicon. But it's much more quicker to start with the Node generation tool to get your first ready-to-use snippet.

Got favicon markups but don't know what to do next? @realfavicongenerator/inject-markups injects them in your HTML files.

You can also automate the verification of favicon by leveraging @realfavicongenerator/check-favicon. This module analyzes the favicon of a website and returns a report you can easily process, along with the icons themselves.

Interactive API

You can integrate RealFaviconGenerator's favicon experience to a site builder, thanks to the interactive API. This is how the RealFaviconGenerator for WordPress plugin operates.
