Favicon Generator: free online, fast and secure
A favicon is the small icon in the browser tab, bookmarks and Google search results. Modern websites need several sizes: a favicon.ico for browsers, PNG icons, an Apple touch icon for iPhones and Android icons for “Add to home screen”.
This generator creates all of them from a single image and gives you a ZIP with the files, a site.webmanifest and a ready-to-paste HTML snippet. You can add padding and a background colour so the icon looks good everywhere.
How to use Favicon Generator
- Upload your logo. Use a square image of at least 512×512 pixels for the sharpest result.
- Adjust padding and background. Keep it transparent or add a colour; preview the 16, 32, 48 and 180 px sizes.
- Download the package. Get the ZIP, upload the files to your website root and paste the HTML in your <head>.

Good to know
Two numbers describe every digital image: its dimensions in pixels (for example 1600×1200) and its file size in KB or MB. Dimensions decide how sharp the picture looks; file size decides how fast it loads and whether a form accepts it. Format matters too: JPG is best for photos, PNG for graphics and transparency, WEBP and AVIF for websites. Favicon Generator lets you control these things without Photoshop, and because everything runs locally, you can experiment as many times as you like without waiting for uploads.

How Favicon Generator keeps your photos and images private
Most online converters upload your file to their server, process it there and send it back. That costs time, uses your data pack and means a copy of your file sits on someone else’s computer. Favicon Generator works differently: the page loads the tool into your browser, and your photos and images are processed by your own phone or computer. The file never travels over the internet, so it cannot be leaked, stored or misused.
Using Favicon Generator on your phone
Favicon Generator is designed for small screens. Buttons are large, options are simple, and downloads save directly to your phone storage. On iPhone, downloaded files appear in the Files app under Downloads; on Android they go to the Downloads folder.
Who uses Favicon Generator?
Favicon Generator is used every day by people from many backgrounds, for example:
- Students uploading photos and signatures to exam and admission forms
- Online sellers preparing product photos for Instagram, Meesho, Amazon and Shopify
- Office staff handling ID cards, scans and screenshots
- Bloggers and web designers who need fast-loading images
- Anyone sharing pictures on WhatsApp, email or social media

Frequently asked questions
Where do I put the favicon files?
Upload them to the root folder of your website and paste the HTML snippet inside the <head> of every page.
Why does Google show an old favicon?
Google re-crawls favicons slowly. It can take days or weeks to update in search results.
What size should my source image be?
At least 512×512 px and square. Larger is fine; it is resized for each icon.
