How to create favicon.ico

Even if you use modern SVG favicons, an ICO file is still a safe fallback for older browsers and edge cases. The good news: you can generate it from one SVG in seconds.

Best practice in 2026

  • Use SVG as the primary favicon for modern browsers.
  • Keep favicon.ico as a compatibility fallback.
  • Add PNG sizes for platforms and contexts that need raster icons.
  • If you support dark mode, generate a separate dark SVG and connect it via media query.

Quick steps (recommended)

  1. Export your logo as a Plain SVG (no external images/fonts).
  2. Upload the SVG to Favicon.kz.
  3. Use the Crop window (or Fit) to center the artwork in a square.
  4. Choose a set: Mini (no dark mode) or Complete (with dark mode).
  5. Click Generate and download the ZIP with all files + an HTML snippet.
Tip
Keep your SVG simple: convert text to outlines and avoid embedded external images. This improves reliability in different browsers.

FAQ

Is favicon.ico still required?
Not strictly, but it is highly recommended as a fallback for compatibility.
Can I use only an ICO file?
You can, but you lose crisp scaling on modern browsers. SVG + ICO is a better combo.
