Favicon Generator
Turn your logo into a complete favicon package — ICO, PNGs, app icons & manifest — privately in your browser.
Drop files here
Drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG logo here, or click to browse. 512×512 or larger works best.
Used in site.webmanifest for “Add to home screen”.
Browser UI tint + manifest theme color.
iOS shows transparent icons on black — a background avoids surprises.
100% private — your logo is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
Free favicon generator — no upload, no signup
A favicon is the tiny icon in the browser tab next to your site’s title. It also appears in bookmarks, browser history, Google search results on mobile, and on phone home screens. Getting it right used to mean exporting a dozen files by hand in different sizes — this generator does it in one click.
Upload your logo (PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG) and get a complete, modern favicon package: favicon.ico with 16/32/48px images, PNG icons for tabs and touch devices, apple-touch-icon for iPhone/iPad, Android Chrome icons, a site.webmanifest, and the exact HTML snippet to paste into your pages. Everything runs in your browser — your logo is never uploaded anywhere.
How to create a favicon
- Upload your logo — 512×512px or larger, square works best.
- Set your website name and theme color (used in the manifest and browser UI tint).
- Pick an icon background — transparent, white, black, or your theme color.
- Click “Generate favicon package”.
- Download files individually or as a ZIP, and copy the HTML snippet.
How to install the favicon files
- Upload all the generated files to your website’s root folder (next to index.html).
- Paste the copied HTML snippet inside the
<head>of your pages. - Test in a private/incognito window — browsers cache favicons aggressively, so a normal refresh may still show the old icon.
On WordPress, skip the manual HTML: go to Customizer → Site Identity → Site Icon and upload the 512×512 PNG — WordPress generates its own sizes from it.
Design tips for a crisp favicon
- Keep it simple — tiny sizes can’t show fine detail or long text.
- Use a bold mark with good contrast against both light and dark tab bars.
- Leave a little padding around the mark; iOS rounds the corners of touch icons.
- Test at 16×16 — if it’s unreadable there, simplify the design.
FAQs
What is a favicon?+
A favicon is the small icon browsers show in tabs, bookmarks, history, and search results. It’s also the icon used when someone saves your site to their phone’s home screen. A missing or blurry favicon makes a site look unfinished.
Which favicon files do I actually need in 2026?+
Five files plus a manifest cover virtually everything: favicon.ico (multi-size 16/32/48 for tabs, bookmarks, and crawlers), favicon.svg for modern browsers (only if your logo is vector), apple-touch-icon.png (180×180 for iPhone/iPad home screens), android-chrome-192x192.png and android-chrome-512x512.png for Android and PWAs, and site.webmanifest tying the Android icons together. This generator creates exactly that set — no outdated extras.
How do I add the favicon to my website?+
Upload the generated files to your website’s root folder (the same folder as index.html), then paste the HTML snippet into the <head> of your pages. For WordPress, use Customizer → Site Identity → Site Icon instead. Clear your browser cache or test in a private window — browsers cache favicons aggressively.
Do I still need favicon.ico if I have an SVG favicon?+
Yes. SVG favicons work in all modern browsers, but many tools still request /favicon.ico directly: RSS readers, chat unfurlers, older browsers, and some crawlers. The generated .ico contains 16, 32, and 48px images in one file, so every consumer gets a crisp size.
Why isn’t there a maskable icon or browserconfig.xml?+
Maskable icons only matter for Android adaptive icons with edge-to-edge artwork, and browserconfig.xml / Windows tiles died with Internet Explorer. The standard 192/512 icons in the manifest cover install prompts and splash screens. Keeping the set minimal means fewer files to maintain.
