A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small image displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens when users save your website. It helps with brand recognition and makes your site easier to find among open tabs.
This tool supports PNG, JPG, SVG, and WebP image uploads. We automatically generate all common favicon formats: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 icons in .ico format, Apple Touch Icon (180x180), Android Chrome icons (192x192 and 512x512), and a ZIP bundle with all files.
No. All processing happens in your browser — your image is never uploaded to our server. This ensures complete privacy and security.
The .ico format supports multiple sizes within a single file, which is still required for Windows desktop shortcuts and legacy browser compatibility. Modern browsers will prefer your individual PNG files, but the .ico ensures maximum compatibility.
Download all files from our tool, then upload them to the root directory of your website (the same folder as index.html). Add these lines to the <head> section of your HTML:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" sizes="48x48">
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon-32x32.png" type="image/png" sizes="32x32">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">Browsers heavily cache favicons. Try: 1) Hard refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac), 2) Clear your browser cache, 3) View the site in an incognito window.
Yes! All generated favicons are free to use for personal and commercial purposes. No attribution required.
We recommend uploading images under 5MB. Very large files may slow down processing in your browser, but the tool will still work.
This tool generates all standard favicon sizes used across platforms today. If you need custom dimensions beyond the standard set, download a PNG and resize it using any image editor.
Place them in your website's root directory (e.g., /public/, /htdocs/, or /www/). This ensures browsers can find them automatically. Some platforms may require placing them in a specific folder — check your hosting provider's documentation.
