- Pick the fit: Whole image (adds padding) or Fill square (crops edges).
- Choose the background and corner rounding if you need them.
- Click Download favicon.ico.
Using Your ICO File
- Website: upload favicon.ico to your site's root folder; browsers find it automatically.
- Windows: right-click a shortcut or folder → Properties → Change Icon, and select the .ico file.
