Favicon Generator
Turn any image into a favicon: a real multi-size favicon.ico plus every PNG size browsers ask for, with the HTML and manifest. Free, nothing uploaded.
Drop your logo here, or click to choose
A square image of at least 512 pixels gives the best result. Nothing is uploaded.
What this tool is for
Drop in a logo and get the whole set: a genuine favicon.ico holding 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions, PNG icons up to 512, the apple-touch-icon, and the markup to paste into your head. The ICO is assembled byte by byte in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and there is no watermark or waiting queue.
How to use it
- Drop in a square image, ideally 512 pixels or larger.
- Pick a background if your logo has transparency that looks wrong on a browser tab.
- Download favicon.ico and the PNG sizes you need.
- Paste the markup into the head of your pages and put the files at the root of the site.
Frequently asked questions
Do I still need favicon.ico in 2026?
Yes. Browsers request /favicon.ico by default even when you declare PNG icons, and so do feed readers, chat previews and search engines. It costs a few kilobytes and prevents a stream of 404s in your logs.
Why does an ICO hold several sizes?
Because the same icon is drawn at different scales: 16 pixels in a tab, 32 in a bookmark bar, 48 on a Windows shortcut. Scaling one large image down at display time looks muddy, so the file carries a version rendered for each size.
What size should the source image be?
At least 512 pixels, square, with the important part away from the edges. A detailed logo turns to mush at 16 pixels: if yours has small text, make a simplified mark for the favicon.
Can I use an SVG favicon instead?
You can, and it scales perfectly, but the ICO is still needed as a fallback: Safari support arrived late and non-browser clients often ignore SVG icons entirely.
