Thanks for joining us again for the third part of our series on Favicons for WordPress. Before the jump, we\u2019ve learned why we need Favicons, and what sizes and guidelines are important when designing Favicons.<\/p>\n
This time around, we get into the thick of things with a bunch of tools and plugins that help you make Favicons easily.<\/p>\n
\n
For those in a hurry, quite a few full-featured and well-known Favicon-specific tools come to mind:<\/p>\n
This is the foremost and yet, simple-to-use Favicon maker<\/a> that many people swear by. It\u2019s as straightforward as choosing a colour, painting each pixel in the right colour, and then clicking on \u2018Download\u2019. Boom. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n This tool is also an easy pick<\/a>, what with it having more features and a better UX than Favicon.cc, including the ability to use your own images and to generate high-resolution files for all the devices you intend to target.<\/p>\n These are a special class of Favicon makers, such as those by Dynamic Drive and RealFaviconGenerator<\/a>. With these, you can load in an image of your choice and let the tools convert it into a Favicon in all the sizes you need \u2013 RealFaviconGenerator does an especially good job with sizing.<\/p>\n \n As discussed in part 2, Favicons have a specific and separate file format and extension. Thus Favicon generator plugins for WordPress can help with converting the graphics you\u2019ve designed into the Favicon \u2018.ico\u2019 format.<\/p>\n Different kinds of plugins are available for this purpose, and with the right plugin, you can convert all image types, emoji or even text into your Favicon. Two such plugins come most recommended:<\/p>\n Yeah, that is the name, but you\u2019ll better recognize it as the plugin created by the guys over at RealFaviconGenerator<\/a>. With the aid of this plugin, you can quickly and comprehensively create a Favicon that will display correctly across any number of devices. The smart thing about this plugin is how, instead of just creating a bunch of image copies at multiple resolutions, it checks for up-to-date Favicon guidelines for every device that you wish to display it on, and converts accordingly.<\/p>\nFaviconer<\/h3>\n
