About This Tool
The Favicon Generator is a free online tool that instantly converts any image into a professional .ico file for your website. A favicon is the tiny little logo that appears in the browser tab next to your website's name.
Without one, your site just shows a generic, blank globe icon, which makes it look unfinished. Instead of downloading complicated editing software, you can simply upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG image here, and the tool will shrink it down and format it perfectly into a favicon.
Everything runs locally in your browser, so your brand assets are never uploaded to a server.
How to Use
- 1Click the upload box and select the image or logo you want to use.
- 2The tool will automatically generate the standard 16x16 and 32x32 pixel .ico files.
- 3Click the "Download" button to save your new favicon.ico file to your computer.
- 4Upload the downloaded file to the main root folder of your website.
- 5Add the standard HTML link tag to your website's <head> section so browsers can find it.
Frequently Asked Questions
We highly recommend uploading a PNG image with a transparent background. This ensures your favicon doesn't have an ugly white square box around it when it sits in the browser tab.
An .ico file is a specific image format used for icons in Windows and web browsers. While browsers can sometimes use PNG files for tabs, the .ico format is the universal standard because it can hold multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48) in one single file.
If you upload a high-quality, square image (like 256x256 pixels), the tool will generate a crisp, multi-resolution .ico file. This ensures your icon looks sharp on normal screens, Retina displays, and when someone pins your tab.
After downloading the favicon.ico file, upload it to your website's root folder. Then, add this line of code inside the <head> section of your HTML: <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Yes. All image processing happens directly inside your web browser. Your logos and brand assets are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring your intellectual property remains completely private.
