Why use Favicon Generator?

  • Produces all 8 standard sizes (16x16 to 512x512) from a single source image in one step.
  • Covers browser favicons, Apple touch icons, Android icons, and PWA manifest icons together.
  • Accepts SVG input and rasterizes it cleanly to PNG at every target dimension.
  • Center-crops non-square sources automatically so you still get valid square icons.
  • Runs entirely in the browser with no upload, no account, and no watermark on the output.

Common use cases

  • Generate the full favicon set when launching a new website or web app.
  • Create matching Apple touch and Android home-screen icons from one logo.
  • Refresh every icon size at once during a rebrand.
  • Produce the required 192x192 and 512x512 icons for a PWA manifest.

How Favicon Generator compares to alternatives

Honest comparison to other popular options — pick the right tool for the job.

ToolMain limitation
RealFaviconGeneratorFeature-rich but uploads your image to its server and bundles many config options you may not need
Favicon.ioHandy but processes server-side and leans toward text or emoji favicons over your own image
Exporting sizes by hand in PhotoshopFull control but slow and error-prone to resize and name eight files manually each time
Favicon GeneratorFree, runs in your browser, no sign-up, no watermarks, no file-size limits beyond your device memory.

Limitations & things to know

  • Non-square images are center-cropped, which can clip the edges
  • Outputs PNG only; no .ico container and no ZIP bundle yet

About Favicon Generator

A favicon generator turns one source image into the set of small icon files a website needs for browser tabs, bookmarks, mobile home screens, and app installs. Upload a square PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG and this tool renders eight standard PNG sizes from 16x16 up to 512x512 by drawing your image onto a canvas at each target dimension. Those sizes map to real platform requirements: 16x16 and 32x32 for the browser tab and address bar, 180x180 for the Apple touch icon on iOS home screens, 192x192 for Android, and 512x512 for the Progressive Web App manifest and splash screen, with 48x48, 64x64, and 128x128 filling in the rest. Because favicons are displayed tiny, design matters more than detail. A bold mark, a single letter, or a simple logo stays legible at 16x16, while a photograph or fine text turns into mush at that size, so start from a clean, high-contrast square at least 512x512. If your source is not square, the tool center-crops it to a square first, which can clip edges, so center your subject before uploading. Note the output is PNG, not the legacy .ico container. Every current browser accepts PNG favicons referenced from the HTML head, and if you need a single .ico for older environments you can convert a 32x32 or 48x48 PNG afterward. To install them, place the files in your site root or public folder and add link tags such as <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png"> plus an apple-touch-icon link. All rasterization happens locally in your browser, so unreleased brand assets never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions

Detailed art and small text do not survive being scaled to 16 pixels. Use a bold, simple mark or a single letter. Detail that reads fine at 512x512 can vanish completely at tab size.
No, all outputs are PNG. Every modern browser accepts PNG favicons via a link tag. If you need a .ico for legacy support, convert the 32x32 or 48x48 PNG with a separate converter.
It is center-cropped to a square before resizing, which can trim the edges. Center your subject in the source image to avoid losing important parts of the design.
Yes. The SVG is rasterized to PNG at each size. Browsers also accept SVG favicons directly, but the generated PNGs give you broader device and platform compatibility.
