Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 7:31 pm

You can make a favicon in Canva, and it’s actually quite easy to do. First, you’ll need to create a new Canva account or log in to an existing one.

Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create a design” button and select the “Logo” option. On the next page, you’ll be able to choose from a variety of templates or create your own logo from scratch. For this tutorial, we’ll be using one of the templates.

Once you’ve selected a template, you’ll be taken to the editor page. From here, you can make changes to the template or add your own elements.

For our purposes, we’re going to add our own text. To do this, click on the “Text” tab in the left-hand sidebar and then click on the “Add Heading” button. A text box will appear; type in your favicon text and then hit the “Enter” key.

Next, you’ll need to change the size of your text so that it’s small enough to be a favicon. To do this, hover your mouse over the text box and then click on the small blue square that appears in the bottom-right corner. A pop-up window will appear; change the “Width” value to 16 px and then click on the “OK” button.

Now that your text is the right size, you’ll need to give it some color. To do this, click on the “Text Color” button in the top toolbar and then select a color from the palette that appears. Once you’ve selected a color, click on the “Apply” button.

The final step is to download your favicon. To do this, click on the “Download” button in the top toolbar and then select the “PNG” option.

A pop-up window will appear; make sure that the “Transparent background” option is checked and then click on the “Download Now” button. Your favicon will now be downloaded as a PNG file.

PRO TIP: Can I Make a Favicon in Canva?

Yes, you can make a favicon in Canva. However, there are some things to keep in mind.

First, your favicon should be 16×16 pixels. Anything larger will be automatically resized and will not look as sharp.

Second, make sure that your favicon is saved as a .ico file. Other file formats, such as .png or .jpg, will not work.

Lastly, don’t forget to upload your favicon to your website. Otherwise, visitors will see the default Canva favicon instead of your own!

So there you have it! You can easily create a favicon in Canva by following these simple steps.
