Favicon Generator

Turn one image into every icon your website needs: a multi-size favicon.ico, PNG favicons, the Apple touch icon, Android/Chrome icons and a web manifest — zipped into one download with the HTML ready to paste. Everything runs in your browser, so your artwork is never uploaded.

How to generate a favicon

  1. Add your logo or artwork above — a square PNG or SVG works best.
  2. Choose how non-square images are squared and pick a background colour, then check the 16, 32 and 48 pixel previews.
  3. Download the ZIP, drop the files into your site's root folder and paste the HTML snippet into the page head.

About favicons

A favicon is the small icon browsers show in tabs, bookmarks, history and search results. Modern sites need it in several sizes and formats: a classic .ico for tabs and legacy browsers, PNGs for high-density screens, a 180×180 Apple touch icon for iOS home screens, and 192/512 pixel icons referenced by the web manifest for Android and PWA installs.

This generator writes the .ico as a true multi-size icon (16, 32 and 48 pixels in one file, stored as classic BMP entries for maximum compatibility) and scales your image down in quality-preserving steps so it stays crisp even at 16 pixels. The included site.webmanifest and HTML snippet follow the file names every browser and crawler expects.

Frequently asked questions

What files does the package contain?

favicon.ico with 16, 32 and 48 pixel sizes inside, favicon-16x16.png and favicon-32x32.png, apple-touch-icon.png (180×180), android-chrome icons at 192×192 and 512×512, and a site.webmanifest — plus a copy-paste HTML snippet that links them all.

What image should I start from?

A square image of at least 512×512 pixels gives the best results. If yours isn't square you can either crop it to a square or fit it with padding — the live previews show exactly how 16, 32 and 48 pixels will look.

Why isn't the Apple touch icon transparent?

iOS renders transparent regions as black, so the Apple touch icon is flattened onto the background colour you pick. All the other icons keep your image's transparency.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The icons are resized, packed into the .ico container and zipped entirely in your browser; your image never leaves your device.
