About Favicon Generator
A favicon is the small icon in a browser tab, bookmark, or phone home screen, and this tool builds a full set from a picture you already have. Drop in a PNG, JPG, SVG, or WebP logo and it draws your image onto crisp square canvases at 16, 32, 48, 180, and 512 pixels — cover-fitting and centering each one so nothing looks stretched. You preview every size, then download the PNGs and copy a ready-made HTML snippet to paste into your page.
Because it runs online with nothing to install, it handles the common jobs people look for: turning a PNG into a favicon, converting an SVG, or resizing any image into the exact sizes a website needs. The 16, 32, and 48 pixel icons cover browser tabs and bookmarks, the 180 pixel apple-touch-icon handles iOS home screens, and the 512 pixel icon serves progressive web apps and Android — a complete, real favicon set rather than a single file. Modern browsers read PNG icons directly through the link tags the tool writes for you, and you can keep transparency or drop in a solid background color for icons that ignore it.
Everything happens locally in your browser using the HTML canvas, so your image never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded to a server. It is completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks, or limits.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the favicon generator free to use?
- Yes, it is 100% free with no account, sign-up, watermark, or usage limits. Generate and download as many favicon sets as you want.
- Is my image uploaded to a server?
- No. All processing happens locally in your browser using the HTML canvas. Your image never leaves your device and is never sent to or stored on any server, so it stays completely private.
- What sizes does it create?
- It generates PNG icons at 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 for browser tabs and bookmarks, a 180x180 apple-touch-icon for iOS home screens, and a 512x512 icon for progressive web apps and Android.
- Does this create a .ico file or favicon.ico?
- It generates PNG icons rather than an .ico file. Every modern browser supports PNG favicons referenced through the <link rel="icon"> tags the tool writes for you, so a separate favicon.ico is no longer required. Just save the PNGs to your site's root folder and paste the HTML snippet into your <head>.
- How do I turn a PNG into a favicon?
- Upload your PNG and the tool immediately renders it at every favicon size, cover-fitting and centering it on square canvases. Preview the results, download the PNG icons, and copy the HTML. The same steps work for JPG, WebP, and SVG source files.
- Can I make a favicon from an SVG?
- Yes. SVG uploads are supported alongside PNG, JPG, and WebP. The vector is drawn onto each square canvas, so even a simple logo stays sharp down to the 16 pixel tab icon. Choose transparent or a solid background before you download.
- What image should I upload for the best result?
- A square image of at least 512x512 pixels works best so the largest icons stay sharp. PNG, JPG, SVG, and WebP are all supported. Non-square images are cover-fit and centered, and smaller images are upscaled with a warning.
- Does it generate a complete favicon set?
- Yes. Instead of a single icon it produces the full range a real site needs: 16, 32, and 48 pixel icons for tabs and bookmarks, a 180 pixel apple-touch-icon for iOS, and a 512 pixel icon for PWAs and Android. The matching HTML links every file for you.
- Can it generate a favicon design with AI?
- No. This tool converts an image you already have into favicons; it does not draw or invent a new icon with AI. Bring your own logo or picture, or create one elsewhere, and use this to resize it into the correct sizes and generate the HTML.
- How do I add the favicon to my website?
- Save each downloaded PNG to your site's root folder using the shown filenames, then copy the provided HTML snippet and paste it inside your page's <head> section. The tool gives you the exact <link rel="icon"> and apple-touch-icon tags.
- Can I keep transparency or add a background color?
- Both. Transparent images keep their transparency by default, shown against a checkerboard preview. You can also switch to a solid background color, which is often safer for iOS home-screen icons that ignore transparency.
- How is this different from a design tool like Canva?
- Design tools help you create the artwork, while this tool takes finished artwork and turns it into properly sized favicon files plus the HTML your site needs. It runs free in your browser with no account, so it is quick for the resize-and-export step once your icon design is ready.
