Favicon HTML Tag Generator

Generate HTML head link and meta tags for favicon.ico, PNG favicons, Apple Touch Icon, manifest, theme color, and mask icon.

What is this tool?

A favicon HTML tag generator writes the link and meta tags that belong in the HTML head. It helps avoid missing sizes, incorrect type attributes, inconsistent paths, or forgetting the web manifest and theme color.

  • /favicon-32x32.png
  • /apple-touch-icon.png

Output examples

  • favicon.ico link tag
  • 16x16 and 32x32 PNG link tags
  • apple-touch-icon link tag
  • site.webmanifest link tag
  • theme-color meta tag

Common use cases

  • Create favicon head code for a static HTML site.
  • Add favicon tags to a React or Vite index.html file.
  • Prepare link tags for a Next.js or WordPress project.
  • Check that generated paths match files in the public folder.
  • Copy a complete favicon code block without hand-writing every tag.

Best practices

  • Start from high-resolution square artwork when possible.
  • Keep the subject centered and avoid tiny text inside small icons.
  • Use transparent backgrounds only when the mark remains visible on light and dark surfaces.
  • Use consistent file paths between exported files and HTML code.
  • After replacing favicons, clear browser cache or change filenames if the old icon remains visible.

Common mistakes

  • Uploading a low-resolution source and expecting sharp large icons.
  • Using artwork that touches the edge and gets clipped after rounding or cover mode.
  • Shipping only favicon.ico and forgetting Apple Touch Icon or manifest icons.
  • Leaving HTML paths that do not match the files in the public folder.
  • Not previewing 16x16 and 32x32 outputs before release.

FAQ

Where should I place favicon HTML tags?

Place them inside the HTML head. In Vite or React projects this is often index.html; in framework projects use the framework head or metadata system.

Do I still need favicon.ico?

Yes, it is still useful for compatibility even when PNG icons are present.

What is apple-touch-icon?

It is the icon iOS uses when a user saves a website to the home screen.

What is site.webmanifest?

It is a web manifest file that tells browsers about PWA icons, display mode, theme color, and related install metadata.

Why is my favicon not updating?

Favicons are cached heavily. Verify paths, clear cache, and consider changing filenames when replacing icons.

Can I use this code in React or Vite?

Yes. Put the files in public/ and paste the generated tags into index.html unless your framework uses a metadata API.

What is Favicon HTML Tag Generator best used for?

Favicon HTML Tag Generator is useful for focused icon tools tasks where you need a quick browser-based result without switching tools.
