All the favicon files, done right

A favicon appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, search results on mobile and on phone home screens — and each place wants a different file. This generator creates the full modern set in one ZIP: a multi-size favicon.ico (16, 32 and 48 px), 16 and 32 px PNGs, a 180 px Apple touch icon, 192 and 512 px Android icons and a site.webmanifest.

Start from your logo (square PNG or SVG works best) or type one or two letters or an emoji and choose the colours. Preview how it looks in a browser tab and on an iPhone home screen before you download, then copy the ready-made HTML snippet into your site's head.

How to create a favicon

  1. 1

    Choose the source

    Upload a logo, or switch to text/emoji and type your letters.

  2. 2

    Style it

    Set background, padding and rounded corners; for text, pick the font and colours.

  3. 3

    Check the preview

    See the icon at 16, 32 and 64 px and on a phone home screen.

  4. 4

    Download and install

    Unzip the files into your site's root folder and paste the HTML snippet.

Tips and good to know

  • At 16 px, detail disappears. Use a simplified logo mark or one or two letters.
  • Apple touch icons can't be transparent — the generator fills them with your background colour automatically.
  • Google shows favicons next to mobile search results; a clear, recognisable icon can improve clicks.
  • Converting an SVG logo first? See SVG to PNG.
