Favicon Generator

A favicon is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, browser history, desktop shortcuts, and search results for a website. It helps users quickly recognize your website and strengthens your brand identity.

A Favicon Generator creates all required favicon files from a single image or logo. It automatically generates multiple icon sizes, favicon.ico, Apple Touch Icons, Android icons, HTML favicon tags, and the site.webmanifest file required by modern browsers.

Upload a square logo or image, optionally remove a white background, generate the favicon set, then download all generated files. Copy the generated HTML tags into the head section of your website and upload all favicon files to your website root.

Favicons improve website branding, make browser tabs easier to identify, improve bookmark recognition, provide icons for mobile home screens, support Progressive Web Apps, and improve the overall user experience.

A square PNG with a transparent background is recommended. The image should be at least 512x512 pixels to ensure sharp icons at every generated size.

There is no single best size. Modern websites typically include multiple favicon sizes including 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 180x180, 192x192, and 512x512 pixels so different devices and browsers can use the appropriate version.

Most websites should include favicon.ico, favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, favicon-48x48.png, apple-touch-icon.png, android-chrome-192x192.png, android-chrome-512x512.png, and site.webmanifest.

favicon.ico is the traditional favicon file supported by virtually all browsers. It may contain multiple icon sizes within a single file, making it compatible with both modern and older browsers.

Use both whenever possible. PNG provides excellent image quality while favicon.ico ensures compatibility with older browsers. Modern websites generally include both formats.

Yes. Modern browsers support SVG favicons because they scale perfectly at any resolution. However, many websites still provide PNG and ICO versions for maximum browser compatibility.

Apple Touch Icons are icons used when an iPhone or iPad user adds your website to the Home Screen. The recommended size is 180x180 pixels.

site.webmanifest is a JSON configuration file used by modern browsers to describe your web application. It contains information such as the application name, icons, theme color, background color, and display mode.

The site.webmanifest file enables Progressive Web App functionality, provides icons for installed web apps, defines application colors, and improves support for Android, Chrome, Edge, and other modern browsers.

Most websites place site.webmanifest in the website root folder and reference it using this HTML tag: <link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">.

HTML favicon tags are link elements placed inside the HTML head section. These tags tell browsers where to find favicon files, Apple Touch Icons, and the website manifest.

All favicon HTML tags should be placed inside the head section of every webpage, preferably before your CSS and JavaScript files.

If your website uses a shared layout or template, placing the favicon tags once inside the shared head section is sufficient because every page inherits them.

Browsers may display a generic icon, fail to show bookmarks correctly, or ignore your Apple Touch Icons and Progressive Web App settings.

The theme-color meta tag changes the browser toolbar color on supported mobile browsers and improves the appearance of installed Progressive Web Apps.

Yes. A favicon generator automatically resizes one high-quality source image into all required favicon sizes and generates the necessary HTML tags and manifest file.

PNG is generally the best source image because it supports transparency and preserves image quality during resizing.

A transparent background is recommended because it looks cleaner across different browser themes and operating systems.

Yes. JPG images can be converted into favicons, although PNG is usually preferred because it supports transparency.

Blurry favicons usually result from uploading a low-resolution image. Always upload a large square image, preferably 512x512 pixels or larger.

Browsers aggressively cache favicons. Clear your browser cache, perform a hard refresh, or rename the favicon files if the old icon continues to appear.

Yes. Browsers often cache favicon files for long periods, which is why changes may not appear immediately after updating the files.

This tool keeps padding simple and automatic so most users can generate clean favicon files quickly without tuning advanced design settings.

Corner radius rounds the corners of generated icons. This tool focuses on transparent favicons and standard web favicon output for broad compatibility.

A square image of at least 512x512 pixels is recommended. Larger images provide better quality when generating smaller favicon sizes.

Favicons are not a direct Google ranking factor, but they improve user experience, branding, recognition in search results, browser tabs, bookmarks, and installed web apps.

Yes. Google Search on mobile devices may display your favicon next to search results when it meets Google's favicon guidelines.

Most browsers do not fully support animated favicons. Static PNG, ICO, and SVG files provide the best compatibility.

Yes. You can generate favicon files, HTML favicon tags, and the site.webmanifest file completely free without creating an account.

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our server, ensuring complete privacy.

Yes. The generated files are compatible with HTML websites, ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, Angular, React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt, WordPress, Shopify, Laravel, PHP, Django, and virtually every modern web platform.

The package typically includes favicon.ico, PNG favicon files in multiple sizes, Apple Touch Icon, Android Chrome icons, site.webmanifest, and ready-to-copy HTML favicon tags.
