Best results with a square image (PNG with transparency recommended)

Create favicons for your website

A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmark lists, and history entries next to your site's name. A clean favicon makes a website look polished and helps visitors find your tab among many. Because browsers and devices request the icon at several sizes, you usually need more than one version.

This generator takes a single source image and produces favicons at all the standard sizes — 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, and 256 pixels — in one step. You can preview each size, download them individually, grab them all at once, or download a favicon.ico file ready to drop into your site's root folder.

How to generate your favicons

Upload your logo or icon by dropping it on the upload area or clicking to browse. The tool accepts PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. For the best result use a square image; a PNG with a transparent background is ideal so the icon blends into both light and dark browser themes.

The favicons are generated instantly and shown in a preview grid. Click "Download" under any size to save just that one, click "Download All Sizes" to save every PNG, or click "Download favicon.ico" for a single ICO file. A ready-made HTML snippet is included at the bottom so you can paste the correct <link> tags into your page's <head>.

Tips for a sharp favicon

Simple, bold designs read best at tiny sizes. Fine details and small text tend to disappear at 16x16, so favor a single recognizable shape or letter. Starting from a square source avoids stretching, since the tool scales the image to fit each square canvas.

All resizing is done in your browser on a canvas, so your image is never uploaded anywhere and stays private. The tool is completely free with no watermarks. Note that the generated favicon.ico is a PNG-based icon, which every modern browser supports.
