Favicon Generator: how to use it
- Drop in your logo, ideally a square PNG or SVG at least 512 px wide.
- Keep Crop to a square first ticked if the logo is not square, and choose whether to Keep transparency or fill it with a background colour.
- Download the set: a favicon.ico with the small sizes plus PNGs for phones and browsers.
Tips
- At 16 × 16 pixels, detail disappears. A simple mark or a single letter reads better than a full logo with text.
- The favicon sizes guide shows which file goes where and the HTML to add.
Favicon Generator: what it does and when to use it
A favicon is the small icon in a browser tab, a bookmark list and a phone home screen. The Favicon Generator takes your logo and produces the set a website needs: a favicon.ico holding the small sizes that browsers read, plus larger PNGs for Android home screens and Apple touch icons.
Start from a square logo at least 512 pixels wide, ideally a simple mark rather than the full wordmark: at 16 pixels, text becomes unreadable. Keeping transparency lets the icon sit on the tab colour; a filled background can be easier to see on dark browser themes.
After uploading the files to your site, browsers cache favicons hard, so an old icon can stick around for a while. Our favicon sizes guide lists which file each device uses and the HTML to add. For a round version of a logo for social profiles, use the Avatar Maker.
Favicon Generator: frequently asked questions
Is the Favicon Generator free, and do I need to sign up?
Yes, the Favicon Generator is 100% free with no sign-up, no login and no account. The Favicon Generator runs in your browser, so it has no daily limit and no upload, and saves at full size with no watermark. See why it is free.
What sizes do I actually need?
A favicon.ico containing 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions covers browser tabs, bookmarks and Windows shortcuts. Add a 180 pixel PNG for iOS home screens. Modern browsers will also use an SVG favicon if you offer one, which stays sharp at any size.
Why does my favicon look like mush?
Because 16 by 16 pixels is about ten usable pixels once the padding is accounted for, and most logos have far more detail than that. Simplify: one shape, high contrast, no text. A detailed logo shrunk to 16 pixels reads as a grey smudge. Related tool: SVG Optimizer.
How do I make a favicon for my website?
