How to Use the Favicon Generator
Upload an image (PNG, JPG, or SVG) and the tool generates favicon files in all required sizes — 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and the Apple Touch icon at 180x180 pixels. You can also design a favicon from scratch using the built-in editor with text, shapes, and colors.
Preview how your favicon appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens. Adjust cropping and padding to ensure the icon looks clear and recognizable at small sizes.
Download the complete favicon package including ICO file, PNG variants, and the HTML link tags you need to add to your website's head section for proper browser support.
Why Use This Tool
A favicon is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results next to your website name. Missing or poorly formatted favicons make a site look unprofessional and harder to identify among multiple open tabs.
Different browsers and devices require different favicon sizes and formats. This tool generates all necessary variants from a single image upload, saving you from manually resizing and converting across multiple formats.

- ICO, PNG, and Apple Touch icon format output

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do I need for a favicon?
At minimum, you need 16x16 (browser tabs), 32x32 (taskbar shortcuts), and 180x180 (Apple Touch icon). For complete coverage, include 48x48, 96x96, and 192x192 for Android devices. This tool generates all standard sizes automatically.
What image format should my favicon be?
The traditional format is ICO (which can contain multiple sizes in one file). Modern browsers also support PNG favicons. For the best compatibility, provide both an ICO file and PNG fallbacks. This tool generates both formats.
Why does my favicon look blurry?
Favicons are displayed at very small sizes (16x16 pixels). Complex images with fine details become unrecognizable when scaled down. Use simple shapes, bold colors, and minimal text (ideally a single letter or icon) for the clearest result.
How do I add a favicon to my website?
Add link tags in your HTML head section pointing to your favicon files. The essential tags are: a link with rel='icon' for the ICO file, rel='icon' with type='image/png' for PNG, and rel='apple-touch-icon' for iOS devices. This tool provides the exact HTML code to copy.
