Why create a favicon for your website?

A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, and the address bar. It's one of the first things visitors notice and provides instant brand recognition. Without a favicon, browsers show a generic placeholder — making your site look unfinished and unprofessional.

  2. Upload your PNG, JPG, or other image (square recommended)
  3. Click Generate ICO

Create a Favicon Online – ICO, PNG, and SVG for Every Browser

A favicon (shortcut icon or tab icon) is the small image displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars. Getting favicons right requires generating multiple sizes and formats: favicon.ico (multi-size ICO file for legacy IE and Windows pinning), favicon-32×32.png and favicon-16×16.png (for modern browsers), apple-touch-icon.png at 180×180px (for iOS home screen shortcuts), and optionally an SVG favicon for scalable support in modern browsers.

This tool takes any image — logo, icon, monogram, or graphic — and generates the complete favicon package at all required sizes. Upload a high-resolution PNG or SVG (at least 512×512px is ideal), and the generator produces all variants ready to drop into your website's root directory. All processing happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API — your logo image is never uploaded to a server.

  • favicon.ico — Required for all browsers, especially IE and Edge legacy. Contains 16×16 and 32×32 embedded sizes.
  • apple-touch-icon.png — 180×180px PNG for iPhone and iPad home screen bookmarks.
  • favicon.svg — Supported by modern Firefox and Chrome. Scales perfectly at all sizes.
  • manifest.json icons — 192×192 and 512×512 PNGs for Progressive Web Apps (PWA) installation icons.
