How to create a favicon
- Drop your logo into the box above — a square SVG or PNG with a transparent background works best.
- Choose a background for the Apple and Android icons (transparent or a color) and the padding.
- Download the ZIP and paste the HTML snippet into your site’s
<head>.
Why GlideConvert?
- Private by design. Your files are converted on your own device by your browser — they are never uploaded to a server. That keeps them private, avoids upload waits and means there is no queue.
- Fast. Images convert in a fraction of a second; video uses your device’s hardware encoder.
- Free. No sign-up, no watermark. 10 images, 5 audio files or one video at a time — Pro lifts the limits and removes ads.
Frequently asked questions
What does the favicon package contain?
favicon.ico (16, 32 and 48 px), favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, apple-touch-icon.png (180 px), android-chrome-192x192.png and -512x512.png, site.webmanifest and a ready-to-paste HTML snippet.
Which image works best?
A simple square logo with a transparent background. SVG gives the sharpest results because every size is rendered from vectors.
Do I still need favicon.ico?
Yes — browsers look for /favicon.ico by default, and it is the most compatible option. The PNG and Apple icons cover modern browsers, home screens and bookmarks.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. GlideConvert runs entirely in your browser: images are processed with the browser’s built-in codecs and WebAssembly, video and audio with hardware-accelerated WebCodecs (or a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg for older formats). Nothing is sent anywhere — you can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
