How do you generate a favicon?
Add a square PNG and the tool builds the whole favicon set — instantly, in your browser.
- Drop or select a square PNG (512px or larger is ideal).
- Download favicon.ico and the PNG sizes.
- Copy the HTML and manifest into your site.
What files do you need for a favicon?
Modern sites use more than a single icon. This generator produces a multi-size favicon.ico for browsers, 16×16 and 32×32 PNGs for tabs, a 180×180 apple-touch-icon.png for iOS home screens, and 192×192 and 512×512 PNGs for Android and Progressive Web Apps — plus the <head> tags and a site.webmanifest snippet to tie them together.
What sizes should a favicon include?
16 and 32px cover browser tabs and bookmarks; 180px serves Apple touch icons; 192 and 512px are required by the web manifest for installable PWAs and Android home screens. Providing all of them ensures your icon looks sharp everywhere instead of being scaled from a single size.
Is this favicon generator free and private?
Yes. It's completely free with no signup, and every icon is created on your device — your image is never uploaded.
