Favicon Generator
A favicon is the tiny icon a visitor sees in the browser tab, the bookmarks bar, and on a phone home screen. It is a small detail that makes a website look finished and trustworthy, and search results increasingly show it too. This free Favicon Generator turns your logo or any picture into the standard icon sizes websites need, in one go, right in your browser.
Upload one image and the tool prepares four PNG files: 16 by 16 and 32 by 32 pixels for browser tabs, 48 by 48 for shortcuts, and 180 by 180 for Apple touch icons used when someone saves your site to an iPhone or iPad home screen. Each size is drawn separately from your original, not stretched from the smallest one, so every icon stays as sharp as its size allows. Because favicons must be square, the tool uses the centre square of a rectangular picture. Simple, bold artwork works best: at 16 pixels, fine details and small text simply disappear. Nothing is uploaded; the icons are generated on your own device.
How to use
- Click the file box and choose your logo or image, ideally already square.
- Wait a moment while the four icon sizes are generated.
- Download each size using its own download link.
- Add the files to your website and link them in your page head, or upload the 32 or 48 pixel size wherever your site builder asks for a favicon.
- Refresh your site to see the new icon appear in the browser tab.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my icon look blurry or plain?
A 16 pixel icon has almost no room for detail. Logos with one bold letter, a simple shape, or strong contrast survive best. If your full logo turns into a smudge, try uploading a simplified version, such as just the initial letter in your brand colour.
What if my image is not square?
The tool crops the centre square automatically, which keeps the subject in the middle of most logos. If the important part sits near an edge, crop the image to a square first with a crop tool, then generate again.
Do I need all four sizes?
Not always. The 32 pixel PNG alone satisfies most site builders. Use the full set when you control your own HTML: browsers pick the tab sizes, and Apple devices use the 180 pixel touch icon for home screen shortcuts.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Your image is read and resized locally in your browser and never leaves your device.
