What is a Favicon Generator?

Favicon Generator creates browser tab icons and app icons from any image you upload. Generate multi-size ICO files containing 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 pixel versions in a single file, plus individual PNG favicons for Apple Touch Icons (180x180), Android Chrome (192x192), and Progressive Web Apps (512x512). The tool automatically crops and resizes your image with high-quality scaling for crisp icons at every size.

How to Create Favicons Online

Upload your logo, icon, or image to start generating favicons instantly. Adjust border radius to create rounded or circular favicons, add padding for breathing room, and choose a background color or keep transparency. Preview your favicon at all standard sizes in real-time before downloading. Download as a multi-size ICO file for maximum browser compatibility, or grab individual PNG files for modern web implementations and app manifests.

Favicon Sizes Explained

Different platforms require different favicon sizes: 16x16 appears in browser tabs, 32x32 is the standard favicon for retina browser tabs, 48x48 is used by Windows taskbar, 64x64 and 128x128 provide higher resolution options, 180x180 is the Apple Touch Icon size for iOS home screens, 192x192 is the Android Chrome icon, and 512x512 is required for PWA splash screens. Including all sizes ensures your icon displays perfectly across every device and platform.

ICO Format vs PNG Favicons

The ICO format bundles multiple icon sizes into a single file, making it the most compatible favicon format for all browsers including older versions of Internet Explorer. Modern browsers also support PNG favicons linked via HTML meta tags, which offer better compression and transparency support. For best compatibility, use both: an ICO file as the default favicon and individual PNG files referenced in your HTML head for Apple Touch Icons, Android manifest, and PWA configuration.

Adding Favicons to Your Website

Place your favicon.ico file in the root directory of your website for automatic detection by browsers. For explicit favicon declarations, add link tags in your HTML head: use rel="icon" for standard favicons, rel="apple-touch-icon" for iOS devices, and reference 192x192 and 512x512 PNG files in your web app manifest for Android and PWA support. This generator creates all the sizes you need with a single upload, saving hours of manual resizing and format conversion.
