Favicon Generator

A single square logo image isn't automatically a proper favicon set. Browsers, iOS home screens, and Android home screens each expect their own specific sizes, and missing one means your site looks broken or blurry on at least one platform. This generates every standard favicon size from a single source image, or builds a simple text-based icon if you don't have a logo yet.

How to use the Favicon Generator

  1. Choose image mode and upload a logo, or choose text mode and type one or two characters.
  2. If using text mode, pick a background color for your favicon.
  3. Preview the generated favicons across all standard sizes.
  4. Download individual PNG files or copy the HTML link tags to paste into your site.

Why one favicon.ico file isn't enough anymore

A single 16x16 or 32x32 favicon.ico file was sufficient in the early web, but modern requirements have multiplied. Apple touch icons for iOS home screens, Android Chrome icons for the home screen and app-like install, and higher-resolution variants for retina displays and browser tabs on high-DPI screens all expect their own specifically-sized file. Skipping any of these doesn't break your site, but it does mean a slightly broken or generic-looking icon on whichever specific platform's expected size you didn't provide. This tool generates the full standard set at once specifically to avoid that gap.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes does it generate?

The standard modern set, typically including 16x16 and 32x32 for browser tabs, Apple touch icon sizes for iOS, and Android Chrome icon sizes, covering the platforms that check for their own specific favicon variant.

What if I don't have a logo yet?

Use the text-based icon mode to generate a simple letter or initials-based icon as a placeholder, which is a reasonable stand-in until a proper logo exists.

Do I need to add any code to my site to use the generated favicons, or is dropping the files in enough?

Most favicon sizes need corresponding <link> tags in your page's <head> pointing to each file. Check the generator's output for the specific HTML snippet to include alongside the files themselves.
