Favicon Generator

Generate favicons for all platforms from any image. All processing happens in your browser — your images never leave your device.

What is a Favicon?

A favicon is a small icon that represents your website. It appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, history, and on mobile home screens when users save your site. Modern websites need multiple favicon sizes to support different devices and platforms.

Best Practices

•

Use square images: Favicons are square, so non-square images will be center-cropped.

•

Keep it simple: Complex designs lose detail at small sizes. Simple logos and icons work best.

•

Use high-resolution source: Start with at least 512x512 for best quality across all sizes.

•

Test on dark backgrounds: Many browser tabs use dark themes — ensure your favicon is visible.
