Easy Favicon
Introduction
Upload one master image. Easy Favicon builds every favicon size browsers, Apple, and Android need, strips template defaults, and can set a separate administrator icon. Dark mode, maskable icons, theme color, and a minimal manifest option are included.
Easy Favicon is a Joomla system plugin for Joomla 4, 5, and 6. You pick a PNG or SVG (JPEG accepted), generate the pack once, and the plugin injects the correct markup on the frontend and in the administrator. Competing template favicon tags are removed so Helix and similar templates stop fighting your icons.
Why site owners choose it
- One upload: generate 16, 32, 48, Apple 180, Android 192/512, optional ICO
- Separate admin icon: reuse the site pack or upload a different master for the backend
- Dark mode: optional dark master when the OS prefers a dark theme
- Maskable Android: safe-zone padding so icons stay readable on adaptive shapes
- Template conflict strip: remove competing rel=icon and apple-touch tags
- Theme color: set site and admin theme-color meta
- Manifest modes: Off, Generate, or Defer when another PWA extension owns the manifest
- Admin tools: preview, validation, generate all, ZIP export, cache-busting paths
Perfect when you want
- A modern favicon pack without hand-exporting every size
- A different icon in the administrator tab
- Dark mode and Apple / Android coverage without a component
- Clean coexistence with Helix and other templates that ship default icons
- Joomla 4, 5, and 6 with GD or Imagick, no jQuery, no CDN
