Overview

What Is a Favicon Generator?

A favicon is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens next to your website name. Modern websites need multiple favicon sizes to cover different browsers, operating systems, and devices — from the classic 16×16 ICO for legacy browsers to the 512×512 PNG required by Progressive Web Apps.

Our Favicon Generator takes a single source image and automatically produces every size your site needs, plus a multi-image ICO file and a web manifest. All processing happens on your device so your brand assets stay private and the result is instant.

Instead of manually resizing your logo in an image editor ten times and building an ICO file by hand, you upload once and download a ready-to-deploy ZIP. The included HTML snippet can be pasted directly into your site head, and the web manifest makes your site installable as a PWA.

The tool runs on any device — Windows, Mac, Linux, or mobile — without installing software. There are no accounts, no usage limits, and no watermarks. Perfect for developers, designers, and anyone launching or updating a website.

Discover Features

Every favicon size, format, and code snippet — generated on your device in seconds

All Sizes in One Click

Generates 10 PNG sizes from 16×16 to 512×512 plus a multi-image ICO file. Covers favicon.ico, Apple Touch Icon, Android Chrome, and PWA manifest icons — everything your website needs from a single source image.

ICO + PNG Formats

Produces a standard favicon.ico containing 16×16 and 32×32 images for maximum browser compatibility, alongside individual PNG files for modern browsers and devices that use link-tag based icons.

Download as ZIP

All generated favicons, the ICO file, and a site.webmanifest are bundled into a single ZIP. Unzip into your website root and you are ready to go — no manual renaming or organizing needed.

Ready-to-Use HTML

Get a copy-paste HTML code snippet with all the link tags your site needs. Includes icon, apple-touch-icon, and Android Chrome entries with correct sizes and paths so you never miss a tag.

Privacy-First Processing

Every pixel is processed on your device using the Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded to any server. Close the tab and nothing remains — ideal for logos and brand assets you want to keep confidential.

Background Color Picker

If your logo has transparency, choose a background fill color before generating. This ensures favicons render cleanly on all platforms and prevents unexpected checkerboard or dark backgrounds on certain devices.

How to Generate Favicons

Four simple steps — upload, configure, generate, and deploy

01
01

Upload Your Image

Drag and drop any image (JPG, PNG, SVG, WebP, or GIF) onto the upload area, or click to browse. A square image works best; non-square images will be scaled to fit each favicon size.

02

Set Background (Optional)

If your image has transparent areas, enable the background color picker and choose a fill color. This prevents transparency issues on platforms that do not support it well.

Use Cases

Common scenarios where generating favicons saves time and ensures consistency

Website Launch

Before going live, generate all required favicon sizes in one step. Ensures your site displays a crisp icon in every browser tab, bookmark bar, and mobile home screen from day one.

Progressive Web Apps

PWAs require 192×192 and 512×512 icons listed in a web manifest. This tool generates both sizes plus the manifest JSON file, making your app installable on Android and desktop.

Brand Consistency

Use the same source logo to generate icons for every context — browser, Apple devices, Android, Windows tiles. Guarantees consistent branding across every touch point without manual resizing.

CMS & Blog Setup

WordPress, Ghost, Hugo, and other platforms accept favicon uploads in various sizes. Generate all sizes at once and upload them to your CMS settings without opening an image editor.

Client Projects

Quickly generate favicons for client sites during development. Download the ZIP, drop it into the project, and paste the HTML snippet — minutes instead of hours fiddling with manual exports.

Rebranding

When a brand updates its logo, regenerate all favicon assets in seconds. Replace the ZIP contents on your server and every device picks up the new icon after cache expires.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common queries about the Favicon Generator tool

Q1. What image formats can I use as input?
You can upload JPG, JPEG, PNG, SVG, WebP, and GIF files. For best results, use a square PNG or SVG with at least 512×512 pixels so the tool can scale down without losing quality.
Q2. What sizes are generated?
The tool creates 10 PNG files: 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 96×96, 128×128, 180×180 (Apple Touch Icon), 192×192 (Android Chrome), 256×256, and 512×512 (PWA). It also builds an ICO file containing 16×16 and 32×32 images.
Q3. What is the ICO file and why do I need it?
The ICO (favicon.ico) is the classic favicon format supported by all browsers. It can contain multiple sizes in a single file. Placing it at your site root ensures even legacy browsers display your icon correctly.
Q4. Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All processing uses the browser Canvas API on your device. Nothing is sent over the internet. Your images stay completely private.
Q5. What is the site.webmanifest file?
It is a JSON file used by Progressive Web Apps to declare app icons, name, and display mode. The generated manifest references the 192×192 and 512×512 icons. Edit the name and theme_color fields to match your brand.
Q6. What if my image has a transparent background?
Enable the background color picker and choose a fill color. Some platforms (like iOS) do not show transparency well for home screen icons, so a solid background ensures your icon looks good everywhere.
Q7. Can I use a non-square image?
Yes, but the image will be scaled (stretched) to fit each square size. For the best result, crop your image to a 1:1 aspect ratio before uploading, or use a square logo.
Q8. Is this tool free?
Yes. The Favicon Generator is completely free with no limits, no watermarks, and no account required. Use it as often as you need for personal or commercial projects.
