Adding a favicon or icon to a website attracts more users to the website having a logo in the browser tab, on mobile devices too & the same applies for softwares too, having a icon defines the authenticity of the software (on software installer too). Although i have seen that many users don’t know how to convert a image to icon for all the device ratio’s in bulk. In this post, i will be showing you a small tutorial through which you can convert a image to icon with only a few clicks, so just follow the instructions given.

## Instructions:

# 

- First of all, make the image ready which you want to convert & then head to THIS WEBSITE
- Once you’re on the website, click “Choose File” & you should see a window opened, select your image file from it & click “Open”

- Now, once image is opened, click on “Create Favicon” button & wait for it to process the image.

- Once image is processed, a new page will be opened. Click on “Download The Generated Favicon” link & it should start downloading the archive.

- That’s it, you can extract images & icon file from the archive & use it anywhere you want.

**_Final Notes_** : This website, not just generates different size images for different devices, but generates a HTML code for you too, which you can (if want) use in your website by directly inserting the code & uploading image/icons to appropriate folder.

If you need to convert an image to JPG before creating an icon, an online converter can be useful when the source image is in another format. I usually use [https://ahaconvert.com/jpg-converter/](https://ahaconvert.com/jpg-converter/) for quick JPG conversions without opening a full image editor.
