Everything you need to know about Favicon Generator

Which sizes you actually need, how the .ico format works, and how to add the icons to your site.

TL;DR
  • Upload a square image and get a favicon.ico plus Apple/Android PNGs instantly.
  • Everything runs locally in your browser — your image is never uploaded.
  • Start with a square image at least 512×512px for the sharpest results at every size.
How it works

How to use Favicon Generator

  1. Drag and drop or choose an image file — ideally a square image at least 512×512 pixels.
  2. Select which icon sizes you need: the favicon.ico plus Apple touch and Android/PWA PNGs.
  3. Download favicon.ico directly, or grab all selected PNG sizes together as a ZIP file.
Why it matters

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

SizeUsed forWhy it's worth checking
16/32/48px (.ico) EssentialBrowser tabs, bookmarks, desktop shortcutsThe classic favicon — every browser expects this.
180×180pxiOS "Add to Home Screen"Apple devices look for this specific size and file name.
192×192 & 512×512pxAndroid home screen, PWA install promptsRequired by most web app manifests for a crisp install icon.
Privacy by design

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.

Options guide

.ico vs. PNG — which do you actually need?

FormatBäst förAvvägning
favicon.ico Always include thisBrowser tabs and bookmarksBundles multiple sizes in one file, but isn't used for home-screen icons.
PNG icons (180/192/512px)Home screen & PWA install iconsNeeded 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.

Methodology

How This Tool Works

Your image is resized on an HTML canvas at each selected resolution, then packaged into a standards-compliant .ico container (with embedded PNG frames) and, optionally, a .zip of individual PNGs — all generated live in your browser via JavaScript, with nothing uploaded, stored, or logged.
