Favicon Generator
Choose your favicon sizes and output format, then generate and download a ready-to-use favicon — free, private, and processed entirely in your browser.
About the Favicon Generator
A favicon is the small icon shown in a browser tab, bookmark, or desktop shortcut for your website. Our free online Favicon Generator turns any image or SVG into the standard favicon resolutions (16x16, 32x32, and 48x48), packed either into a single multi-resolution .ico file or a ZIP of individual PNGs.
Multi-size .ico files remain essential for full compatibility — older browsers, Windows desktop shortcuts, and some bookmark bars still expect the traditional .ico format rather than a single PNG. All resizing and packing happens entirely inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas, so your image is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use ICO instead of PNG?
Modern browsers support PNG favicons, but .ico files containing multiple sizes are still the gold standard for full compatibility with older systems, shortcuts, and Windows desktop layouts.
Are my images secure?
Yes, all resizing and file generation happen locally in your web browser. No data is sent to our servers.
Can I generate a favicon from an SVG file?
Yes, SVG files are supported alongside standard raster formats like PNG and JPG, and are rasterized locally at each selected size.
What's the difference between the ICO and ZIP output?
The ICO option packs all selected sizes into a single multi-resolution .ico file, the traditional format browsers and OSes expect. The ZIP option gives you separate PNG files for each size, useful for modern favicon setups (like apple-touch-icon or manifest icons).
Does it cost money?
No. The Favicon Generator is 100% free to use, with no registration or account required.
