Favicon Generator
Create a favicon for your website from a PNG, JPG, or WebP image. Crop your source image into a square, choose the icon sizes you need, and generate a multi-sizefavicon.icoalong with individual PNG icons.
Everything is processed directly in your browser, so you can create your website favicon without uploading your source image to a server or installing image-editing software.
Create a Website Favicon Online
A favicon gives your website a recognizable visual identity in browser tabs, bookmarks, shortcuts, and other browser interfaces. Starting with a square logo or image usually produces the most useful result because favicons are displayed at very small sizes.
Upload your image above and the generator automatically creates previews at several common favicon dimensions. You can select the sizes you need instead of manually resizing and exporting each icon.
For websites that need a traditional ICO file, the generator combines the selected PNG representations into one multi-size favicon ICO file.
Favicon Sizes
Different browsers, platforms, and website features can use different icon dimensions. The generator provides several common sizes so you can create the files appropriate for your website.
| Size | Common use |
|---|---|
| 16 × 16 | Browser tabs and small favicon displays |
| 32 × 32 | Browser and desktop shortcut icons |
| 48 × 48 | Larger browser and shortcut contexts |
| 180 × 180 | Apple touch icon |
| 192 × 192 | Android and web app icon |
| 512 × 512 | Larger web app and installable app icon |
Favicon ICO vs PNG
ICO is a traditional icon container format commonly used for website favicons. A single ICO file can contain multiple icon representations, allowing browsers to use an appropriate size.
PNG files are also useful because they can be referenced individually using HTML<link>elements. PNG also supports transparency, which is useful when your logo does not have a solid rectangular background.
The favicon pack gives you both options, together with a generated HTML snippet so you can choose the setup that fits your website.
How to Add a Favicon to HTML
After downloading the favicon pack, place the generated files somewhere accessible from your website. You can then add the generated favicon markup inside your document's<head>element.
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon/favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/favicon/favicon-180x180.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/favicon/site.webmanifest">The exact files and sizes depend on the options you select in the generator. You can use the generatedhead-snippet.htmlfile as a starting point.
Tips for Creating a Good Favicon
Start with a simple image
Detailed artwork can become difficult to recognize at 16 × 16 pixels. A simple logo, letter, symbol, or distinctive shape generally works better at small sizes.
Use a square crop
Favicons are square, so cropping a wide or tall source image helps prevent unwanted stretching or distortion.
Check transparency
Transparent backgrounds can make logos work better across different browser themes and page backgrounds.
Preview small sizes
Always inspect the 16 × 16 and 32 × 32 versions. An image that looks good at a large resolution may lose important details when reduced to a tiny favicon.
Favicon Generation in Your Browser
FindAllTools processes the favicon directly in your browser. Your source image is used to render the requested icon sizes, create PNG files, and build the ICO container locally.
This makes the generator convenient for quickly preparing website assets without sending your image to an external image processing service.
Once generation is complete, you can download the ICO file, individual PNG files, or the complete favicon pack containing the manifest and installation files.
