How to use Favicon Generator
- Drag and drop or choose an image file — ideally a square image at least 512×512 pixels.
- Select which icon sizes you need: the favicon.ico plus Apple touch and Android/PWA PNGs.
- Download favicon.ico directly, or grab all selected PNG sizes together as a ZIP file.
Why generate a favicon
A favicon is the small icon browsers show in tabs, bookmarks, and history — and the same underlying image now powers home-screen icons on phones and app-like PWA installs. Getting all the required sizes right by hand means exporting the same image over and over at different pixel dimensions, then packaging some of them into a single .ico file.
This tool does that in one pass: upload an image once, and it generates every common size, plus a properly packaged favicon.ico, right in your browser.
Which sizes you actually need
| Size | Used for | Why it's worth checking |
|---|---|---|
| 16/32/48px (.ico) Essential | Browser tabs, bookmarks, desktop shortcuts | The classic favicon — every browser expects this. |
| 180×180px | iOS "Add to Home Screen" | Apple devices look for this specific size and file name. |
| 192×192 & 512×512px | Android home screen, PWA install prompts | Required by most web app manifests for a crisp install icon. |
Favicon Generator without uploading your file
Your image is read directly by JavaScript in your browser using the Canvas API — resized, redrawn, and packaged into the .ico and .zip files entirely on your device. It's never transmitted to a server, logged, or stored.
Because nothing is uploaded, there's no server-side file-size cap; the only practical limit is how large an image your browser can comfortably load into memory.
Your image never leaves your device. Resizing and packaging happen entirely client-side, with nothing logged or stored.
Need to resize the source image first? The Image Resizer tool can help you prep it beforehand.
.ico vs. PNG — which do you actually need?
| Format | Bäst för | Avvägning |
|---|---|---|
| favicon.ico Always include this | Browser tabs and bookmarks | Bundles multiple sizes in one file, but isn't used for home-screen icons. |
| PNG icons (180/192/512px) | Home screen & PWA install icons | Needed separately for Apple/Android — a .ico alone isn't enough for these. |
Most sites need both: the .ico for the browser tab, and the PNG set referenced in your HTML `<link>` tags and web app manifest for home-screen icons.

How This Tool Works
