Favicon Generator — free online tool

Upload a square PNG and download a multi-size .ico containing 16×16 and 32×32 frames for browser tabs and bookmarks.

Good for email attachments, CMS uploads, and faster page loads without installing desktop software.

How to use Favicon Generator

  1. Upload a square PNG at least 48×48 for the Favicon Generator.
  2. Generate to bundle 16×16 and 32×32 frames into a .ico file.
  3. Download the .ico and place it at /favicon.ico on your site.
  4. Hard-refresh your browser tab to see the new icon (caches old favicons aggressively).

Practical tips

  • Start from a square, high-contrast logo—fine detail disappears at 16×16 pixels.
  • Test the .ico on both light and dark browser themes to confirm it stays visible.
  • Simplify complex marks to a single glyph or initial for tiny tab sizes.

Limitations

Favicon Generator depends on what your browser can decode (HEIC, SVG, animated GIF, etc.). Output quality and colour profile may shift slightly compared with desktop Photoshop.

Privacy & data

No. The file is read in your browser tab and the result is generated locally. Nothing is sent to Webtoolshop servers for in-browser image or PDF tools.

Frequently asked questions about Favicon Generator

Is the Favicon Generator free on Webtoolshop?

Yes. There is no sign-in and no paywall on this page. We may show advertising on some layouts to cover hosting.

Which browsers work best for the Favicon Generator?

Chrome and Firefox handle large local files reliably. Safari may struggle with HEIC or very large PDFs—try a smaller file or switch browsers if the preview never appears.

Why did the Favicon Generator fail or look wrong?

Try a smaller file, fewer pasted characters, or an updated browser. Extensions that block scripts or downloads sometimes interfere—test in a private window if results never appear.

Are my files uploaded when I use the Favicon Generator?

No. The file is read in your browser tab and the result is generated locally. Nothing is sent to Webtoolshop servers for in-browser image or PDF tools.
