Favicon Generator

Generate a multi-size .ico favicon from any image.

A favicon needs to work at very small sizes across browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens - which means a single image needs to be converted into several sizes bundled into one .ico file.

How It Works

  1. Upload a square logo or icon image.
  2. The tool generates a multi-size .ico file (typically 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 combined).
  3. Download and add it to your website's root directory.

Why Favicons Need Multiple Sizes in One File

Different browser contexts request different favicon sizes - a browser tab uses a tiny 16x16 version while a bookmark or mobile shortcut icon may use a larger size. Bundling multiple sizes into one .ico file means the browser picks whichever fits, rather than showing a blurry upscaled or oddly-cropped icon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image works best as a source for a favicon?

A simple, square logo or icon with minimal fine detail - complex designs lose most of their detail at 16x16px.

Where do I put the generated .ico file?

Typically in your website's root directory, referenced via a <link rel="icon"> tag in your HTML <head>.
