Favicon Generator
Turn an image, letter, or emoji into a complete favicon package — the .ico, every PNG size, an Apple touch icon, PWA icons, the web manifest, and the HTML to paste. Free, and it all happens in your browser.
Runs entirely in your browser — your files never get uploaded.

PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG. A square image works best.
What you get
One zip with everything a site needs: favicon.ico (16, 32, and 48px in a single file), standalone favicon-16x16.png and favicon-32x32.png, a 180px apple-touch-icon.png for iOS, 192 and 512px Android/PWA icons, a 150px Windows tile, and a site.webmanifest. You also get the exact <head> snippet to wire it all up.
How to add it to your site
Unzip the files into the public root of your site (for most frameworks that’s the public/ folder, served at /). Then paste the copied snippet into the <head>of your HTML. Refresh, and the tab icon shows up. If it doesn’t change right away, browsers cache favicons hard — try a hard reload or an incognito window.
What makes a good favicon
It has to read at 16 pixels. Busy logos with fine detail or small text turn to mush at that size, so lean on a single shape, a bold letter, or a simple mark with strong contrast. Square source art works best; anything else gets centered and fit inside the square.
Frequently asked questions
What favicon sizes do I actually need?
At minimum a 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs, a 180×180 Apple touch icon for iOS home screens, and 192/512 icons for PWAs. This tool outputs all of them plus a multi-resolution favicon.ico, so you're covered everywhere without thinking about it.
What is the .ico file for?
It's the classic favicon format browsers look for by default. Ours packs 16, 32, and 48px versions into one file so the browser picks the right one for the tab, bookmarks, and the address bar.
Do I have to use every file in the zip?
No. Drop them in your site root and paste the HTML snippet — it references the ones modern browsers and phones use. The extras (mstile, manifest) are there for Windows tiles and installable web apps if you want them.
Can I make a favicon without an image?
Yes. Switch to the text tab, type a letter or paste an emoji, pick your colors, and generate. It's the fastest way to get a real favicon onto a side project.
Is it free, and do my files get uploaded?
Free, and nothing leaves your browser. The whole thing runs locally with a canvas, so your image is never sent to a server.
Need the icon itself, not just the sizing?
IconsCove generates original icons from a text prompt. Describe what you want, pick a style and colors, and download it — then run it back through this tool.
