Favicon Generator is a 100% free, browser-based utility that enables you to create favicon.ico and app icons in every size. Unlike traditional cloud converters, all processing executes locally on your device with zero server uploads, delivering immediate results and ironclad data privacy.
About the Favicon Generator
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and on phone home screens. Different devices need different sizes, so this generator creates them all from one square image: a multi-size favicon.ico, Apple touch icon and Android/PWA icons.
You also get the HTML <link> tags to paste into your page's <head>. Non-square images are centred on a transparent square canvas so nothing is distorted.
How to use the Favicon Generator
- Upload a square logo or image (512×512 or larger is ideal).
- Choose padding and background options.
- Download favicon.ico and the PNG sizes you need.
- Copy the HTML snippet into your site's <head>.

Frequently asked questions
What size should a favicon be?
Browsers use 16×16 and 32×32 for tabs, iOS uses 180×180 for home-screen icons, and Android/PWA uses 192×192 and 512×512. This tool generates all of them.
Do I still need favicon.ico?
Modern browsers accept PNG and SVG favicons, but some tools and older browsers still request /favicon.ico, so it is good practice to include it in your site root.
Can I use a rectangular logo?
Yes. It is centred on a square canvas with transparent or coloured padding so it is not stretched.
