Generate all favicon sizes in one click

A complete favicon set requires multiple sizes for browsers, iOS, Android, and PWAs. This generator creates all 8 standard favicon sizes from either a text/letter or an uploaded image — saving you from resizing the same image 8 times in an image editor.

HTML snippet included

After generating, you get ready-to-paste HTML link tags for the most important favicon sizes. Copy the snippet and drop it into your page's <head> section.

Frequently asked questions

What favicon sizes do I need?
The minimum set is: 16×16 (browser tab), 32×32 (high-DPI tab), 180×180 (Apple Touch Icon for iOS), 192×192 (Android Chrome), and 512×512 (PWA splash screen). This generator produces all 8 common sizes including 48×48 and 128×128.
How do I add a favicon to my website?
Download the favicon PNGs and upload them to your website's root or /public folder. Then add the HTML link tags shown in the snippet below the generated icons to your <head>. The 32×32 PNG covers most browsers; add the Apple Touch and 192×192 for mobile.
Can I use my own logo as a favicon?
Yes. Switch to 'Upload image' mode and upload your logo file. For best results use a square image (1:1 aspect ratio) with high contrast that is legible at 16×16 pixels. The generator scales your image to all required sizes.
What shape options are available?
Square (sharp corners), Rounded (20% border-radius, iOS-style), and Circle. All shapes are rendered on canvas so the background colour fills only within the chosen shape, with a transparent outer area.
Do I still need a .ico file?
Modern browsers support PNG favicons directly with the <link rel='icon' type='image/png'> tag. .ico files are only required for very old browsers (Internet Explorer < 11) and some desktop applications. For most websites, PNG favicons are sufficient.
