Favicon Generator — Create Website Favicons Online Free
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and home-screen shortcuts — the tiny face of your brand. This free favicon generator turns any image into a complete icon package: all standard sizes, a real multi-resolution .ico, a PWA web manifest and copy-paste HTML. Fine-tune the shape, background and padding with a live browser-tab preview, then download everything in one ZIP. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your images never leave your device.
How to Use
Click to upload, drag & drop, or paste from the clipboard with Ctrl/Cmd+V. A square image of at least 512×512px (PNG or SVG) gives the sharpest result.
Choose a square, rounded or circular shape, set a transparent or solid background color, and add padding. The browser-tab preview updates instantly as you tweak.
Keep all standard sizes or toggle off the ones you don't need. Download any single size on its own, or grab them all at once.
Copy the generated HTML snippet into your page's <head>, download the ZIP, and drop the files into your website root. Done.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a favicon and why do I need one?
A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, history and home-screen shortcuts. It makes your site instantly recognizable, looks more professional and helps users find your tab among many open ones.
What image should I upload for the best result?
A square image of at least 512×512px works best. PNG with a transparent background or SVG keeps edges crisp. If your image isn't square, the tool fits it without stretching — add padding if you want extra space around it.
Is the .ico file a real ICO?
Yes. We build a genuine multi-resolution ICO containing the 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions — not a PNG simply renamed to .ico. This guarantees correct display in older browsers and on Windows.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Generation happens entirely in your browser using the canvas API. Your images are never uploaded anywhere and never leave your device, so it's completely private.
How do I install the favicons on my website?
Copy the HTML snippet into the <head> of your pages, then download the ZIP and place the files (favicon.ico, the PNGs and site.webmanifest) in your website's root folder. The included README repeats the snippet for convenience.
Can I make a rounded or circular favicon?
Yes. Pick the rounded or circle shape and the icons are clipped accordingly across every size, including the .ico and PWA icons — with a live preview so you can see the result before downloading.
From a single image to a complete, standards-compliant favicon package in seconds — all sizes, a real .ico, a PWA manifest and ready-to-paste HTML. Customize the look, preview it live and download everything for free, with your images never leaving your browser.
