Favicon Generator

Upload one image and instantly generate favicon and app-icon PNGs in all the sizes browsers and mobile devices expect — 16, 32, 48, 180, 192, and 512 pixels. Generated entirely in your browser.

Drag & drop your logo or image

Square PNG, JPG, or SVG works best (512×512+)

Generate favicons and app icons in every size from one image

Our Favicon Generator takes a single image and produces polished PNG icons in all the sizes browsers and mobile platforms expect, without any upload or installation. It draws your image onto canvases at 16, 32, 48, 180, 192, and 512 pixels — contained neatly within each square — and exports crisp PNGs you can download individually. Every icon is rendered locally in your browser, so your logo or artwork never leaves your device.

Setting up favicons used to mean juggling multiple exports in an image editor and hunting down the exact dimensions each platform requires. This tool collapses all of that into one step. The 16 and 32 pixel icons cover browser tabs and bookmarks, 48 pixels serves Windows, 180 pixels is the Apple touch icon for iOS home screens, 192 pixels feeds Android Chrome, and 512 pixels powers progressive web app installs and splash screens.

Two options help your icons look their best at every scale: add a small safe padding so the artwork doesn't crowd the edges, and choose between a transparent or solid white background depending on your logo. A live preview shows each size against a checkerboard so you can spot transparency issues instantly, and a copy-ready HTML snippet tells you exactly which link tags to add to your page's head section.

Features at a glance

Frequently asked questions

What favicon sizes does this tool generate?

It creates PNGs at 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs and bookmarks, 48×48 for Windows site icons, 180×180 as an Apple touch icon, 192×192 for Android Chrome, and 512×512 for PWA and splash-screen use — covering every common requirement in one pass.

What image should I upload for the best favicon?

Upload a square image at least 512×512 pixels so the large sizes stay crisp. Simple, high-contrast logos work best at tiny sizes; heavily detailed images tend to look muddy once scaled down to 16 pixels.

Do I need a .ico file for a favicon?

Modern browsers fully support PNG favicons referenced with link tags, so PNGs are all most sites need today. This tool outputs individual PNGs and shows the HTML link snippet you paste into your page's head section.

Can I add padding or a transparent background?

Yes. Toggle safe padding to inset the icon slightly so it doesn't touch the edges, and toggle transparency on or off. A transparent background suits logos, while a solid white background can improve legibility on some platforms.

How do I download all the sizes?

Click Download All Sizes to save each PNG individually, or use the per-size button on any card to grab just the ones you need. All rendering happens in your browser, so your image is never uploaded.
