Favicon Generator Online (Free)
A favicon is the tiny icon next to your site's title in browser tabs — and getting it right matters more for credibility than most people think. Our Favicon Generator turns any image (or emoji) into a full set of correctly sized PNG icons, entirely in your browser.

Open Favicon Generator OnlineWhy you need more than one favicon size
- - 16×16: browser tabs and bookmarks.
- - 32×32: Windows taskbar and hi-DPI tabs.
- - 180×180: iOS home screen (apple-touch-icon).
- - 192×192 and 512×512: Android / PWA manifest icons.
Browsers and phones silently fetch the size they need. Provide the set and the right icon is always shown — no blurry upscaling.
How to generate a favicon
- Open the Favicon Generator tool.
- Upload an image or pick an emoji.
- Choose padding and background (transparent or colored).
- Download the individual sizes or the whole pack.
Square sources work best — a logo on a transparent PNG stays perfectly centered. If your logo has built-in margins, add a little padding in the tool to compose a compact mark.
Installing the icons
Drop favicon-16x16.png and favicon-32x32.png into your site root, add a <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico"> tag, and reference the 192/512 PNGs in your PWA manifest. Next.js apps can simply place the files in /app or /public and reference them in metadata.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the generator export .ico files?
It exports PNG sizes, which every modern browser accepts via <link rel="icon">. For legacy .ico support, PNG icons are still the recommended modern approach.
Can I use an emoji as a favicon?
Yes — the tool renders emoji into a crisp PNG at any size, which is a quick way to brand a personal or hobby site.
Are my icons uploaded to a server?
No. Everything renders locally in your browser, so private brand assets never leave your machine.
