Favicon Generator
Convert any logo, image, or emoji into standard favicon packages for web browsers, iOS home screens, and Android PWAs. Includes HTML link tags and webmanifest code generation with 100% client-side privacy.
How to use
Upload a high-resolution logo (PNG, SVG, JPG, or WebP) or enter an emoji / brand letter.
Adjust background color, icon padding, and border radius as desired.
Preview your favicon in simulated browser tabs, iOS app screens, and Google search snippets.
Download individual PNG sizes or copy the ready-to-use HTML head tags and site.webmanifest code.
Standard favicon dimensions and specifications
Modern browsers, operating systems, and search engines require multiple icon formats and dimensions to display graphics crisply across diverse pixel densities:
| Asset Name | Dimensions | Platform / Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| favicon-16x16.png | 16 x 16 px | Standard browser tabs and bookmark bars on non-retina displays |
| favicon-32x32.png | 32 x 32 px | High-DPI / Retina browser tabs and taskbar shortcuts |
| favicon-48x48.png | 48 x 48 px | Windows desktop shortcut icons |
| apple-touch-icon.png | 180 x 180 px | iOS Safari "Add to Home Screen" web clip icon |
| android-chrome-192x192.png | 192 x 192 px | Android home screen and Progressive Web App (PWA) manifest icon |
| android-chrome-512x512.png | 512 x 512 px | PWA splash loading screen and high-resolution app store listings |
HTML head integration
To integrate your generated favicons across all desktop and mobile devices, add the following markup into the <head> section of your HTML document:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">Google Search snippet favicon guidelines
Google Search displays website favicons alongside search result titles. To ensure Google's crawler indexes your favicon correctly: ensure your favicon is accessible to the Googlebot crawler, maintain a 1:1 square aspect ratio with at least 48x48 pixel resolution, and specify a permanent, stable URL in your root directory.
Private client-side processing
Your brand assets and proprietary logos remain completely private. All image rasterization, canvas scaling, and file downloads are executed entirely within your web browser using HTML5 Canvas APIs. No files are transmitted to remote servers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended source image size for generating favicons?
A high-resolution square image of at least 512x512 pixels (PNG or SVG) yields the sharpest results across all downscaled favicon sizes.
Why do I need multiple favicon sizes instead of just one?
Different devices display favicons in varied environments. Desktop browser tabs use 16x16 and 32x32 pixels, whereas iOS Safari requires 180x180 pixels and Android PWAs require 192x192 and 512x512 pixels.
What is the apple-touch-icon.png used for?
Apple Touch Icons are displayed when users save your website to their iOS or iPadOS home screen. iOS automatically clips the icon with rounded corners, so square graphics work best.
What is a site.webmanifest file?
A webmanifest is a JSON file that provides metadata (name, theme colors, and icons) to Android and Chromium browsers, enabling Progressive Web App installation.
Are my uploaded logo files saved on any server?
No. All resizing, canvas rendering, and file generations occur strictly in your local browser sandbox without transmitting data to any server.
