How to turn an image into an ICO icon for your site
Every website needs a small icon that shows in the browser tab, known as a favicon, usually in ICO format. The tool takes any image and turns it into an icon with the multiple sizes browsers and operating systems expect.
Steps
- Open the Image to ICO tool and add your image.
- Wait while the icon is created in your browser.
- Download the ICO file and upload it to your site's folder.
Tips
- Use a square image for the best result — rectangular images may get cropped.
- The resulting icon contains multiple sizes inside one file, suitable for every use.
- A simple, clear image looks better as a small icon than one with lots of fine detail.
