What Easy Favicon can do for you

One image, every favicon size
Upload one square master image and Easy Favicon builds the browser, Apple and Android sizes for you.

Your icon, not the template's
Competing favicon tags from Helix, Cassiopeia and other templates are removed, so your brand shows in the tab.

A separate administrator icon
Give the backend its own icon so you can tell your sites, and their admin tabs, apart at a glance.

Looks right in dark mode
Add an optional dark master and visitors whose system prefers dark see the version made for it.

Home-screen ready on phones
Apple Touch 180 plus Android 192 and 512, with maskable icons padded into the Android safe zone.

Theme color and a tidy manifest
Set the browser theme color and write a minimal icons manifest, or let another PWA extension keep its own.

Preview, roll back, download
See the generated pack before it goes live, go back to the previous pack, or download it as a ZIP.

Replace one size by hand
Leave everything automatic, or swap in your own file for favicon.ico, the SVG, Apple 180 or Android 192 and 512.

Compatibility
FAQ
Which Joomla and PHP versions does it support?
Joomla 4, 5 and 6, with PHP 8.1 or later.
What image should I upload?
A square PNG of 512 x 512 or larger works best. JPEG and WebP are accepted, and SVG works best with Imagick.
Will my template's favicon get in the way?
No. Easy Favicon removes the template's favicon tags and adds its own.
Can the administrator have a different icon?
Yes. Reuse the site icons, or upload a separate administrator master with its own dark version and theme color.
I already use a PWA extension. Is that a problem?
No. Choose Defer and Easy Favicon only writes its manifest when no other one is present.
Do I have to regenerate after every change?
No. Turn on auto-generate and the pack is rebuilt each time you save the plugin.
