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.
When to use Favicon Generator
Produce multi-size favicon assets from a square logo for browser tabs and bookmarks.
Good for email attachments, CMS uploads, and faster page loads without installing desktop software.
What Favicon Generator does not do
Outputs multi-size ICO from a square raster. Does not edit SVG favicons or generate Apple touch icons automatically.
How to use Favicon Generator
- Upload a square PNG at least 48×48 for the Favicon Generator.
- Generate to bundle 16×16 and 32×32 frames into a .ico file.
- Download the .ico and place it at /favicon.ico on your site.
- 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.
Example
Upload a 512×512 PNG logo and download an ICO for /favicon.ico.
