About The Favicon Generator

The Favicon Generator creates common favicon and app icon PNG sizes from an uploaded image or a short text mark. It helps you prepare browser icons, mobile home-screen icons, HTML tags, and a starter manifest without sending the source image to a server.

How to Use Favicon Generator Online

1. Upload a source image, or use the text fallback with foreground/background colors.
2. Adjust the corner radius and click Generate Favicons.
3. Review the previews, copy the generated tags, or download the ZIP from the output card.

Choosing Options Correctly

For best results, start with a square image that has enough padding around the main mark. Simple shapes, strong contrast, and limited detail usually work better at 16x16 and 32x32 sizes than complex illustrations or long text.

Common Use Cases

• Create favicon assets for a new website, landing page, documentation site, or web app.
• Generate multiple icon sizes from one square source image or simple text mark.
• Prepare HTML link tags and a starter web manifest snippet for a frontend project.
• Quickly test whether a logo remains readable at small browser-tab sizes.

Quick FAQ

Does this create an ICO file?
Use the export options shown on the page. Some favicon workflows use PNG sizes, while older setups may need ICO.

Are images uploaded?
No. Favicon generation is designed to run in the browser.

Which size should I use for browser tabs?
A 32x32 PNG is common for modern browsers, but include multiple sizes when you need broader device support.

What source image works best?
Use a square, high-contrast image with simple shapes. Tiny favicons lose fine detail quickly.
