Why Use Our Favicon Generator

Rather than manually resizing your logo into a dozen different sizes, this tool generates every favicon format you need from ICO to Apple Touch Icon to PWA manifest icons in a single step. It also provides the exact HTML meta tags to paste into your page head, making the entire favicon setup process take seconds instead of an hour.

Your Logo Never Leaves Your Device

Favicon generation is handled entirely in your browser using client-side rendering. Your company logo, brand mark, and icon assets are never uploaded to any server. This protects unreleased brand identities and ensures your visual assets remain under your control at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should my source image be?
Your source image should be at least 512x512 pixels and perfectly square. A larger image like 1024x1024 will produce the sharpest results across all generated sizes. PNG format with a transparent background is recommended.
What is the difference between favicon.ico and PNG favicons?
The ICO format is a legacy format that bundles multiple sizes in one file and is supported by all browsers including older versions of Internet Explorer. Modern browsers prefer PNG favicons linked via HTML meta tags. The generator produces both for maximum compatibility.
Do I need Apple Touch Icon?
Yes, if you want your site to look polished when users add it to their iOS or macOS home screen. Without an Apple Touch Icon, Safari uses a screenshot of your page instead of your logo, which looks unprofessional.
Where do I place the favicon files?
Place favicon.ico in the root of your website. The PNG files can go in any directory as long as the HTML meta tags in your page head point to the correct paths. The generated HTML snippet uses root-relative paths by default.
