Comprehensive Guide & Technical Mechanics

About Favicon Generator — Free Online Tool

Favicon Generator takes one square image and produces the set of sizes browsers and phones actually ask for — 16×16 and 32×32 for tabs, 180×180 for iOS home screens, 512×512 for Android — as a ZIP with the HTML to paste into your head.

Each size is rendered separately from the source rather than scaled from one output, so the small ones stay legible instead of turning to mush. The practical limit is the artwork: at 16×16 there are 256 pixels in total, so a detailed logo has to become a simple mark to read at all. Start from something square and bold.

Every size is rendered in your browser and zipped there. An unreleased logo is not uploaded to this site.

Setting up favicons for a new site, replacing a stretched icon that was only ever one size, producing the Apple and Android icons a PWA manifest expects, and refreshing icons after a rebrand.
