-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.
+The [favicons](https://www.favicon-generator.org/about/) of [**Chirpy**](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/) are placed in the directory `assets/img/favicons/`. You may need to replace them with your own. The following sections will guide you how to create and replace the default 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.
+## Generate the favicon
 
-![upload-image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/cotes2020/chirpy-images/posts/20190811/upload-image.png)
+Prepare a square image (PNG, JPG, or SVG) with a size of 512x512 or more, and then go to the online tool [**Real Favicon Generator**](https://realfavicongenerator.net/) and click button <kbd>Select your Favicon image</kbd> to upload your image file.
 
-Click button <kbd>Create Favicon</kbd> and wait a moment for the website to generate the icons of various sizes automatically.
