SVG is a natural favicon source because it scales cleanly, and this tool rasterises it down to the fixed 16, 32 and 48 pixel icon sizes. SVG is a vector format: shapes and text described as code, infinitely scalable, but it must be rasterised before pixel-based tools can use it. This free svg to ico converter does that conversion entirely in your browser, so your file is never uploaded and no signup is needed. ICO output here is one file holding 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions, the standard favicon set, so one download covers browser tabs and shortcuts. The honest limits: Icons must be square, so a wide or tall picture is centre cropped before the three sizes are built. Keep the subject centred in the source.
