General Questions
Basic information about favicons and how our service works.
A favicon is a small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results. It helps users identify your website quickly and makes your site look more professional. Every website should have a favicon for better branding and user experience. Favicons also appear in browser history, mobile home screens when users save your site, and in various other contexts across different platforms.

You can create unlimited favicons, download them in all formats and sizes, and use them for personal or commercial projects without any restrictions or hidden fees.
