Favicon Generator turns any logo into the complete set of favicon sizes modern websites need: browser tabs (16/32/48), Apple Touch Icon (180), Android Chrome (192/512), and web app manifest icons. Generation runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no waiting.
What started as a single 16×16 favicon.ico in 1999 ballooned into 20+ icon files: Chrome wants a 192×192 PNG via the web manifest, Safari wants a 180×180 Apple Touch Icon, Windows tiles want 144×144, Android Chrome wants a 512×512 maskable PNG, and modern browsers still fall back to /favicon.ico for the tab. Our generator produces the full set from one source image so you don't have to track the spec.
At 16×16 pixels — the size your icon actually appears in browser tabs — there is no room for words, fine lines or subtle gradients. The best favicons are a single bold letter (Google's G, Wikipedia's W) or a simplified iconic shape (GitHub's cat silhouette). Use 2–3 colours max and high contrast. Test by squinting at a 16-pixel preview — if you can identify it, it works.
Favicon Generator solves a single, well-scoped task on images without the usual web-tool friction: no signup wall, no email gate, no upsell prompts, no watermark, no daily quota and no file-size limit beyond what your device's RAM allows. The interface is deliberately minimal — pick your input, set any options, click the action button, download the result. Everything from upload to download usually takes less than ten seconds. Because the tool focuses on a single job rather than trying to be a do-everything suite, the defaults are tuned for that job and rarely need adjustment.
Most operations happen locally using modern browser APIs (Canvas, File, Web Workers, WebAssembly) so your data never has to leave your device. That matters for personal documents (IDs, statements, certificates), confidential business files (contracts, invoices), and anything else you'd rather not hand to a third-party server. Where a step genuinely needs server help (only true for AI-powered tools), we route through a trusted AI gateway and discard your input immediately after the response is returned. There is no analytics pixel attached to the file itself, no fingerprinting of the document, and no copy persisted in cloud storage.
Real work is a chain of small steps: download a file → fix one thing → re-upload. Favicon Generator owns one link in that chain and tries to do it well — sharp output, predictable behaviour, no surprises. Pair it with the other free tools on this site (compressors, converters, resizers, PDF utilities, QR generators, AI writing helpers) to handle the entire chain without leaving the browser. The fewer tabs your workflow needs, the faster you finish, and the lower the risk of a sensitive file leaking through a third-party converter.
There is no premium tier. The tool is free because hosting static JavaScript costs us almost nothing, and we'd rather earn trust than rent attention with paywalls. Use it once a year or a hundred times today — the experience is the same. If a tool ever does require a server call (AI features specifically), that call is metered at our cost, not yours, and you will never be asked for a credit card to access the basic functionality. We do not insert affiliate links into outputs, we do not stamp watermarks on downloads to push upgrades, and we do not impose 'pro' formats behind a paywall.
Favicon Generator runs on every modern desktop browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Brave, Arc) released after 2021, and on every modern mobile browser including iOS Safari and Android Chrome. There is nothing to install, no extension to approve and no permission to grant beyond standard file access when you pick an upload. On slower phones the heaviest tasks (image compression of multi-megabyte photos, PDF merges of long documents) may take a few extra seconds while the device's JavaScript engine catches up, but the work still completes locally. If you hit a memory error on a very low-end device, refresh the tab and try a smaller batch — every tool here is stateless, so a refresh is harmless.
Because nothing is uploaded, there is no question of who can see your file in transit, where the server lives, or how long the provider retains a copy. The browser is the sandbox. The code that runs is the same code that ships to every visitor — auditable in the page source. We follow standard web security practice: HTTPS-only delivery, Subresource Integrity on third-party scripts, and a strict Content Security Policy that prevents arbitrary third-party code from running on the page. For organisations that need to demonstrate due diligence on a 'no data leaves the device' claim, the network tab in any browser's developer tools confirms that processing a file generates zero outbound requests with file contents attached.
Start from the highest-quality source you reasonably can — Favicon Generator preserves quality but cannot invent detail that isn't in the input. For images, prefer the original camera file over a screenshot of a screenshot. For PDFs, prefer the digitally generated original over a phone photograph of a printout. If a step in your workflow is going to compress or downscale, do it last, so each earlier step still has full information to work with. And when a portal you are uploading to enforces an awkward limit (a strict 50 KB cap, an obscure aspect ratio, a single-page-only restriction), check the tool list — there is almost certainly a dedicated tool here that handles that exact constraint without you needing to learn the maths.
16, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 180, 192, 256 and 512 — every modern target covered.
Browser canvas downscales with high-quality resampling so small sizes stay legible.

Google specifically uses the 48×48 version for search results — make sure it's legible at that size.
Use Apple Touch Icon 180×180 with no transparency (iOS adds rounded corners automatically).
Keep visual padding around your mark — favicons render very small.
