Favicon Generator
Free favicon generator: make favicon.ico, PNG icons, the Apple touch icon and the web manifest from an image, an SVG or text and emoji, in your browser.
What it does
A favicon is the small icon a browser shows in the tab, in bookmarks and in the history; phones also use it when someone adds your site to the home screen. This generator makes every file a website needs from one picture, an SVG logo or a few letters or an emoji: favicon.ico with 16, 32 and 48 pixel images, PNG icons in 16, 32, 192 and 512 pixels, the 180 pixel Apple touch icon, the web manifest and the HTML tags to paste in your page.
How to use it
- Choose an image or SVG, or type one or two letters or an emoji.
- Adjust the shape, background and margin while watching the preview.
- Download the ZIP, put the files at the root of your site and paste the HTML inside <head>.
Frequently asked questions
Which files do I really need?
favicon.ico at the root of the site covers every browser. The 180 pixel apple-touch-icon.png is what iPhones and iPads show on the home screen, and the 192 and 512 pixel PNGs with the web manifest are what Android uses. The ZIP has them all.
Why does the Apple touch icon have a background?
iOS fills transparent areas of the touch icon with black and rounds the corners itself, so that icon is always made square and opaque, with white behind it when you chose a transparent background.
What image works best?
A square logo or symbol with few details, at least 512 pixels or as an SVG. Text and thin lines disappear at 16 pixels; check the 16 and 32 pixel previews, and use the margin if the shape touches the edges.
My new favicon does not show up. Why?
Browsers keep favicons in a cache for a long time. Open favicon.ico directly in the browser, reload it, or test in a private window; search engines may take days or weeks to show the new icon.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The icons are drawn and the files are made in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
