Favicon Checker is a free tool to test how your logo looks like as the favicon on your browser. You can also check how your favicon compares against other brands in your industry.
A favicon is a small 16x16 pixel version of your logo that is used for branding your website. It sits inside a tab at the top of your browser. A favicon also appears on your bookmark bar.
A favicon helps to quickly identify your website when you have several tabs open simultaneously.
A favicon also appears on your bookmark bar and a good favicon can help you increase the user experience for your website.
If you are a founder of a company that just got a logo designed, this tool would be useful to check two things: how your logo looks at a small 16x16 pixel size and how it compares against others players in your industry. You could then make changes to create a stronger & more powerful logo for your brand.
Additionally, if you are a brand identity designer, you can accurately check how the favicon will perform on a web browser without uploading it to your server.
A simple logo that has a strong form often performs better as a favicon. Too much detail can easily distort the appearance of your favicon.
If your logo is formed with strokes (as compared to a solid fill), it helps to increase the stroke size by a point or two for it to be more legible at smaller sizes.
1-2 colors works best at 16 x 16 pixel size. Using less colors make it clearer at smaller sizes.
Most good practices for creating a strong logo apply to creating a good favicon as well. Read more about it here.
When we work on brand identity projects, it’s crucial for us to check the logos we make at very small sizes. We would often create mockups to check how the logos we design perform at smaller sizes.
We wished there was a tool that would make testing our logos easier, but we couldn’t find one. So, we decided to make one!
We hope you find it useful!
