Favicon Generator
Free favicon generator — upload an image and get all favicon sizes (16px to 512px) as PNGs. Download individually or as a ZIP. Browser-only.
The Favicon Generator creates all the favicon sizes your website needs from a single uploaded image — entirely in your browser with no server upload required. Upload your logo, icon, or any square image and the tool instantly generates PNG files at 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 128×128, 180×180 (Apple Touch Icon), 192×192 (Android Chrome), and 512×512 (PWA splash screen) sizes.
A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, mobile home screens, and search engine results. Modern websites need multiple sizes to display correctly across all platforms — a 16×16 for browser tabs, 32×32 for Windows taskbar pinning, 180×180 for Apple devices, and 192×192 and 512×512 for Progressive Web Apps and Android home screen icons. Getting all of these right from a single source image used to require design software or paid online tools.
The tool resizes your source image using the browser's Canvas API with high-quality interpolation, preserving transparency for PNG images. Each generated size is shown in a preview grid so you can verify the result before downloading. You can download individual sizes as separate PNG files, or use the "Download All as ZIP" button to get every size packaged in a ZIP file ready to drop into your project's public directory.
Along with the images, the tool generates the correct HTML link tags to paste into your site's head section, including rel="icon" for standard browsers and rel="apple-touch-icon" for iOS devices. This eliminates the guesswork of writing these tags by hand.
This tool is ideal for small business owners launching a new website, developers building internal tools, and anyone who needs to add a professional favicon without opening design software or paying for a favicon service.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What sizes does the favicon generator produce?
The generator produces PNG files at 8 sizes: 16×16 (browser tab), 32×32 (standard favicon), 48×48 (Windows site icon), 64×64, 128×128, 180×180 (Apple Touch Icon for iOS), 192×192 (Android Chrome home screen), and 512×512 (PWA splash screen). These cover all major browsers, operating systems, and Progressive Web App requirements.
- What image format should I upload?
For best results, upload a square PNG with a transparent background. A 512×512 or larger source image will produce the sharpest results at all sizes. JPG, WEBP, and other formats are also accepted but will not have transparency. If your source image is not square, the tool will scale it to fit within a square canvas.
- How do I add the favicon to my website?
Download all files using the ZIP button and place them in your website\
- Does my image get uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. Your image is read locally, resized in-memory, and the PNG files are generated client-side. Nothing is transmitted to any external server.
- Do I need an ICO file as well?
Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) all support PNG favicons and the 32×32 PNG is sufficient for most use cases. ICO files are mainly needed for compatibility with very old browsers (Internet Explorer) or specific Windows application integrations. For new websites targeting modern browsers, PNG favicons generated by this tool are all you need.
