Favicons are small icons associated with a website that are displayed in browser tabs, bookmark lists, and address bars. Typically, favicons are multi-layered ICO files that include several sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, etc.) so that browsers can choose the best one for different contexts.

App icons are images used by operating systems (Android, iOS, Windows) to represent applications on home screens, app drawers, and start menus. They are provided in several sizes to ensure clarity on devices with varying resolutions.

This tool converts a single uploaded image into either a 16x16 favicon.ico or a complete set of icons for web and mobile apps. It automatically resizes the image into various dimensions required for different platforms:

• Android Icons:
  • android-icon-36x36.png
  • android-icon-48x48.png
  • android-icon-72x72.png
  • android-icon-96x96.png
  • android-icon-144x144.png
  • android-icon-192x192.png
• Apple Icons:
  • apple-icon.png
  • apple-icon-57x57.png
  • apple-icon-60x60.png
  • apple-icon-72x72.png
  • apple-icon-76x76.png
  • apple-icon-114x114.png
  • apple-icon-120x120.png
  • apple-icon-144x144.png
  • apple-icon-152x152.png
  • apple-icon-180x180.png
  • apple-icon-precomposed.png
• Favicons:
  • favicon.ico
  • favicon-16x16.png
  • favicon-32x32.png
  • favicon-96x96.png
• Microsoft Icons:
  • ms-icon-70x70.png
  • ms-icon-144x144.png
  • ms-icon-150x150.png

First, download the files listed below and place them in the root directory of your website:

• android-chrome-192x192.png
• android-chrome-512x512.png
• apple-touch-icon.png
• favicon-16x16.png
• favicon-32x32.png
• favicon.ico
• site.webmanifest

Next, copy and paste the following link tags into the head section of your HTML:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<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="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">
          

If you already have an image that you would like to use as a favicon, then this is the tool you need. The generator converts your image (PNG, JPG, or GIF) into a favicon ICO file or a complete set of icons. For best results, please upload a square image. If needed, you can crop your image using any standard image editor.

Why an ICO file?
An ICO file is multi-layered so that it contains different sizes of the icon. Browsers can choose the best size for various uses (bookmarks, address bars, desktop shortcuts, etc.). This tool ensures your favicon is fully compatible across modern web browsers.

What types of images work best?
Simple icons, logos, or letters are ideal. Intricate designs may lose detail when resized. If your logo is very complex, consider generating a favicon from text using an alternative method.

The generator creates multiple icon sizes so that your favicon is crisp on every device—from browser tabs to bookmarks and shortcuts.

For best results, start with a high-resolution square image (at least 512x512 pixels) so that the resized icons maintain quality.

Animated GIFs are accepted, but the conversion process will flatten any animations.

Some browsers cache favicons aggressively. If you update your favicon, you may need to clear your cache or use a version query string in your HTML.

No. The image is processed temporarily in memory (or a temporary file that is immediately deleted) to generate the icons.
