How to Use This Developer Tool

  1. Upload a square image (256×256 or larger gives the best results).
  2. Preview the renders at 16, 32, 48, 180, 192, and 512 pixels.
  3. Download each size, or right-click to save individually.
  4. Copy the HTML link tags from the snippet panel and paste into your `<head>`.

What Is a Favicon Generator?

Modern browsers, iOS home-screen icons, Android PWA manifests, and Windows tiles each want a favicon at a different size. Generating them by hand means six exports out of your image editor and then writing the link tags from memory; generating them in the browser via Canvas takes one drag-and-drop.

The generator handles the resizing entirely on your device. PNG is the output format — every modern browser supports PNG favicons via `<link rel="icon">`. The Apple touch icon (180×180) and the larger 192/512 sizes for PWAs and Android home screens are all included. Pair the downloads with the snippet of link tags shown beside them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are generated?
16x16, 32x32, 48x48 for browsers; 180x180 for Apple touch; 192x192 and 512x512 for PWA manifests.
Does this generate a .ico file?
No — ICO encoding needs a library we don't ship. The PNGs cover all modern browsers; pair them with a static favicon.ico if you need legacy IE support.
How do I add the favicon to HTML?
Copy the generated <link rel='icon'> tags into the <head> of your HTML. Browsers will pick the best matching size.
