Free Favicon Generator

This free online favicon generator turns any image into a complete set of favicon PNGs at every size modern browsers and devices need — 16, 32, 48, 64, 180 (Apple touch), 192 and 512 pixels. Upload a logo or picture, preview each size, download the ones you want, and copy the ready-to-paste HTML <link> snippet. It’s completely free and 100% private: every icon is created right in your browser and never uploaded.

How to use the favicon generator

  1. Upload an image by dragging it in or clicking to choose a file. A square logo works best.
  2. Click Generate favicons to create PNGs at all the standard sizes.
  3. Preview each size and click Download PNG on the ones you need.
  4. Copy the HTML snippet and paste it inside the <head> of your site.
  5. Upload the PNG files to your site root so the paths in the snippet resolve.

What is a favicon and which sizes do you need?

A favicon (short for “favorite icon”) is the small image shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, history lists and on mobile home screens. A good favicon makes your site instantly recognisable and looks more professional and trustworthy. Because different places display the icon at different resolutions, a single size is no longer enough — you want a small set so each device can pick the sharpest version.

The classic 16×16 and 32×32 sizes cover browser tabs and bookmarks. 48×48 and 64×64 look crisp on Windows shortcuts and high-DPI screens. The 180×180 apple-touch-icon is used when someone adds your site to an iPhone or iPad home screen, while 192×192 and 512×512 are the Android and Progressive Web App (PWA) sizes referenced from a web manifest. If your image isn’t square, this tool centers it on a transparent square so it never looks stretched.

Frequently asked questions

Is this favicon generator free and private?
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, and every favicon is generated entirely in your browser using the HTML canvas. Your image is never uploaded to any server.
What image should I upload for a favicon?
Use a square image at least 512 pixels wide, such as a logo or a simple icon. Bold shapes and high contrast work best because favicons are shown very small. If your image is not square, the tool centers it on a transparent square automatically.
Which favicon sizes do I actually need?
At a minimum use 16x16 and 32x32 for browser tabs and a 180x180 apple-touch-icon for iOS. For Android and Progressive Web Apps add 192x192 and 512x512. Generating the full set covers every modern browser and device.
How do I add the favicon to my website?
Download the PNG files, upload them to your website root folder, then copy the generated link snippet and paste it inside the head section of your HTML. The Android and PWA icons are referenced from a web manifest file.
Can I use a PNG with transparency?
Yes. The generator outputs transparent PNGs and preserves the transparency in your source image, so icons with rounded or non-rectangular shapes keep clean edges on any background.
