In addition to brand recognition, favicons also boost, among other items, the loading speed of a website and thus indirectly influence website ranking in search engines.

What does this tool offer?

Many web browsers support favicons saved as GIFs, PNGs, or other standard file formats, all Internet Explorer versions still need favicons to be saved as ICO files (a Microsoft icon format). This tool allows you to easily convert any GIF, PNG, or JPEG to ICO that is supported by all modern web browsers. It also allows you to create favicons over a convenient online editor from scratch. The editor also allows you to manually change the favicons produced to ensure the best possible result.
