About the Favicon Generator

The Favicon Generator creates complete favicon packages for websites — including the classic 16x16 and 32x32 ICO format, modern PNG favicons in multiple sizes, Apple Touch Icons, and the web app manifest icons. Upload your logo or image and get all the files you need for cross-browser, cross-device favicon support with the exact HTML code to include.

How to use it

  1. Upload your logo or icon image (PNG, SVG, or JPG, ideally 512x512+).
  2. The generator creates all required favicon sizes automatically.
  3. Download the favicon package (ZIP with all files + HTML snippet).
  4. Place favicon files in your web root and add the HTML to your head section.

Formula & methodology

Required favicon sizes: favicon.ico (16x16, 32x32, 48x48 multi-size ICO). PNG favicons: 16x16, 32x32, 96x96, 192x192. Apple Touch Icon: 180x180 PNG (apple-touch-icon.png). Android Chrome: 192x192, 512x512 PNG in manifest.json. Microsoft Tile: 144x144 PNG in browserconfig.xml. SVG favicon: scalable vector for modern browsers.

Common use cases

  • Creating complete favicon sets for new websites
  • Updating favicons for a website rebranding
  • Generating all required PWA icon sizes for web app manifests
  • Creating Apple Touch Icons for iOS bookmarks
  • Ensuring consistent icon display across all browsers and devices

Frequently asked questions

Provide a square PNG or SVG at minimum 512x512 pixels. SVG is ideal because it is resolution-independent. Square dimensions are essential — non-square images will be cropped or distorted. The design should work at very small sizes (16x16): avoid fine details and thin lines that disappear when scaled down. Simple, bold designs with high contrast work best as favicons.
Browsers cache favicons aggressively. Force-refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R (hard reload) to bypass cache. Or open DevTools, go to Network, check "Disable cache," and reload. In Chrome, you can right-click the tab and select "Reload" to force favicon refresh. If deployed on a live site, the cache may persist for hours or days for returning visitors — add a version query string to the favicon link tag.
