Favicon Generator

Upload a PNG, JPG, SVG, or WebP. Square images work best — non-square sources are stretched to fit each icon.

Free Favicon Generator

Turn any image into a complete favicon set — 16 to 512 px PNGs, an Apple touch icon, Android Chrome icons, and a real multi-size favicon.ico — right in your browser. Copy the HTML snippet and download everything as a ZIP. No sign-up, nothing uploaded.

What is a favicon?

A favicon (favorite icon) is the small image a browser shows in the tab, bookmarks, and history for your site. Modern sites need more than one: a tiny favicon.ico for the tab, larger PNGs for high-resolution displays, an Apple touch icon for iOS home screens, and Android Chrome icons for installable web apps.

This generator takes a single source image and produces all of those sizes at once, including a real multi-resolution favicon.ico, so your icon looks sharp everywhere it appears.

Key Features

Every Size You Need

Generates 16, 32, and 48 px favicons, a 180 px Apple touch icon, and 192/512 px Android Chrome icons in one pass.

Real favicon.ico

Bundles the 16, 32, and 48 px images into a genuine multi-resolution .ico file that browsers pick the best size from.

Apple & Android Ready

Includes apple-touch-icon.png and android-chrome icons so the site looks right when saved to a home screen.

Copy-Paste HTML

Outputs the exact <link> tags for the icon, apple-touch-icon, and PNG sizes — ready to drop into your <head>.

One ZIP Download

Grab every PNG, the favicon.ico, and the HTML snippet in a single zip, or download the .ico on its own.

100% Client-Side

Your image never leaves the browser. All resizing and encoding happens on your device — nothing is uploaded.

How to Generate a Favicon

1

Upload your image

Pick a PNG, JPG, SVG, or WebP. A square source at 512×512 or larger gives the sharpest results.

2

Let it resize

The tool draws your image onto a canvas at each target size with high-quality smoothing and builds the favicon.ico.

3

Preview the icons

Check the gallery to confirm every size renders the way you expect across small and large dimensions.

4

Download and embed

Download the ZIP, drop the files in your site root, and paste the HTML snippet into your <head>.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image should I upload?

Upload a square image at 512×512 pixels or larger for the best results. PNG, JPG, SVG, and WebP are all supported. Non-square images are stretched to fit each icon size, so squaring your source first avoids distortion.

What files does this generate?

It produces favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, favicon-48x48.png, apple-touch-icon.png (180×180), android-chrome-192x192.png, android-chrome-512x512.png, and a favicon.ico that bundles the 16, 32, and 48 px versions.

Is the favicon.ico a real ICO file?

Yes. It is a genuine multi-resolution .ico containing PNG-compressed 16, 32, and 48 px entries with a correct ICONDIR header and directory entries. Browsers automatically pick the size that fits best.

Where do I put the files and HTML?

Place all the generated files in your site's root directory, then paste the provided <link> tags into the <head> of your HTML. The snippet references favicon.ico, the 16 and 32 px PNGs, and the Apple touch icon.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs entirely in your browser using the canvas API. Your image is resized and encoded on your device and is never sent anywhere or stored.

Why does my small favicon look blurry?

Tiny 16 and 32 px icons have very little room for detail. Logos with fine text or thin lines lose clarity at that size. Use a bold, simple, high-contrast mark and a square source for the crispest small icons.
