In [**Chirpy**](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/), the image files of [Favicons](https://www.favicon-generator.org/about/) are placed in `assets/img/favicons/`. You may need to replace them with your own. So let's see how to customize these Favicons.
With a square image (PNG, JPG or GIF) in hand, open the site [*Favicon & App Icon Generator*](https://www.favicon-generator.org/) and upload your original image.
![upload-image](/assets/img/sample/upload-image.png)
Click button <kbd>Create Favicon</kbd> and wait a moment for the website to generate the icons of various sizes automatically.
![download-icons](/assets/img/sample/download-icons.png)
Download the generated package, unzip and delete the following two from the extracted files:
- browserconfig.xml
- manifest.json
Now, copy the rest image files (`.PNG` and `.ICO`) to cover the original one in folder `assets/img/favicons/`.
Lastly, don't forget to rebuild your site so that the icon becomes your custom edition.
