What is a Favicon Generator?
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and search results. Different devices want different sizes. Upload one source image and this tool exports PNG icons at the common sizes: 16, 32, 48, 180 (Apple touch icon), 192 and 512 (Android and PWA).
When to use it
Use it when launching a new site, adding PWA support or replacing a default framework icon. A square image of at least 512 x 512 pixels gives the cleanest results.
How it works
The tool draws your image onto canvases at each target size in your browser and lets you download the PNGs. Nothing is uploaded. After downloading, add the files to your site and link them in the head, for example a 32x32 icon with rel=icon and the 180x180 one with rel=apple-touch-icon.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a favicon be?
32 x 32 is the common baseline. Also provide 180 x 180 for Apple devices and 192 and 512 for Android and PWAs.
Does this create a .ico file?
It creates PNG files, which all modern browsers support in a link tag.
What image works best?
A square image with a simple design. Fine details disappear at 16 pixels.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The resizing happens in your browser.
