Favicon Generator

Turn an image, text, emoji, or SVG into a complete favicon package — favicon.ico, every PNG size, and the HTML to paste. 100% in your browser, nothing uploads.

Apple and maskable icons can't be transparent — iOS renders transparent icons as a black square. This solid color also becomes your theme-color.

Everything runs on your device — no upload, no signup.

Why a Favicon Matters

A favicon is the tiny icon in the browser tab, the bookmark bar, and the history list. It is the smallest piece of branding you own — and users see it on every single visit.

In a row of 10+ open tabs, a site without a favicon shows a blank icon and disappears. A clear favicon is your only visual anchor in that crowd, so it earns the click back.

A favicon also signals polish. A missing icon reads as "unfinished," which is why every serious site runs its logo through a favicon generator before launch.

What Is a Favicon Generator?

A favicon generator is a tool that takes one source — an image, text, emoji, or SVG — and outputs every icon file and size a website needs, plus the HTML that links them.

Modern sites need 7+ separate files: favicon.ico, 16 px and 32 px PNGs, a 180 px Apple Touch Icon, 192 px and 512 px Android icons, and a site.webmanifest. Exporting each by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.

This favicon generator collapses that into one step, and it runs 100% in your browser using the same engine as our PNG to ICO converter. Your image is never uploaded, and there is no signup.

How to Use This Favicon Generator in 4 Steps

Making a favicon here takes under a minute.

1234Choose your inputPreview every sizeGenerate the packageCopy the HTML
1

Choose your input

Pick a tab: Image, Text, Emoji, or SVG. Upload a logo, type initials, drop in an emoji, or paste SVG markup.

2

Preview every size

The favicon generator renders 16, 32, 180, 192, and 512 px instantly. Check the 16 px tile — thin lines vanish there.

3

Generate the package

Click Generate. The tool builds favicon.ico, all PNG sizes, the Apple Touch Icon, Android icons, and site.webmanifest in one ZIP.

4

Copy the HTML

Paste the generated link tags into your head, upload the files to your site root, and you're done.

Pro tip: Design for 16 px first. If your mark reads at tab size, it reads everywhere — start from a bold source or a PNG to ICO conversion.

Everything Stays in Your Browser

Most favicon generator tools upload your image to a server. Your artwork — often an unreleased logo — sits on someone else's machine. This one processes everything locally, so nothing ever leaves your device.

Because there is no server round-trip, there are no limits: generate as many favicons as you want, free, with no watermark and no account.

Four Ways to Make a Favicon

Start from whatever you have — the output package is identical.

§ 01

From an image

Upload a square PNG or JPG logo. The favicon generator downscales it cleanly to every required size on transparent padding.

§ 02

From text or emoji

No logo yet? Type one or two letters or drop in an emoji, pick colors and a shape, and ship an icon in seconds.

§ 03

From SVG

Paste SVG markup — it ships as the modern SVG favicon (icon.svg) plus PNG and ICO fallbacks for older browsers.

Hand-exporting also risks wrong filenames — browsers expect exact names like apple-touch-icon.png, so a typo silently 404s.

Private by Design

Your logo is sensitive — especially before launch. This favicon generator never uploads it, so it can't be logged, cached, or leaked from a server.

The conversion happens with the Canvas API on your own device. Close the tab and nothing remains.

§ 01

No upload

Files are read and rendered locally. They never touch our servers.

No signup

No account, no email, no credit card — open the page and generate.

§ 03

No limits

Unlimited favicons, no watermark, completely free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this favicon generator really free?
Yes — completely free, unlimited icons, no watermark. There is no paid tier and no file limit, because processing happens in your browser, not on our servers.
Do I need an account or credit card?
No. There is no signup, email, or card. Open the page and generate a favicon immediately.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. This favicon generator runs 100% in your browser, so your image never leaves your device — safe even for unreleased logos.
What sizes and files does it output?
favicon.ico (16/32/48), icon.svg for modern browsers when your source is vector, favicon-16x16 and 32x32 PNGs, an opaque apple-touch-icon.png (180 px), android-chrome 192 and 512 px, a maskable icon-mask.png, and site.webmanifest.
How is it different from favicon.io or RealFaviconGenerator?
Same complete output, but nothing uploads — the whole favicon generator runs locally. You also get copy-paste HTML and can start from image, text, emoji, or SVG.
What image makes the best favicon?
A square, high-contrast image at 512×512 or larger. Simple, bold shapes survive the shrink to 16 px; detailed logos turn to mush.
Where do I put the files after downloading?
Upload them to your site's root directory, paste the HTML into your head, and hard-refresh to clear the cached icon.
