Favicon Generator

Turn any image into favicon PNGs in every size you need.

ToolsSoup's Favicon Generator turns any image into crisp favicon PNGs in every size browsers and devices expect — 16×16, 32×32, 180×180 for Apple touch icons, 192×192, 512×512, and more. Upload a logo or picture, choose a transparent or solid background, and download each size with one click, plus the ready-to-paste HTML for your page's head. Everything runs in your browser, so your image is never uploaded.

What is a favicon?

A favicon is the small icon that represents your website in browser tabs, bookmarks, history, and on phone home screens when someone saves your page. Modern sites need several sizes: a tiny 16×16 for the tab, a 32×32 for retina tabs and taskbar shortcuts, a 180×180 Apple touch icon for iOS home screens, and larger 192×192 and 512×512 icons for Android and progressive web apps. This generator produces all of them from a single image.

How to create a favicon from an image

Making a full favicon set with ToolsSoup takes just a few seconds:

  1. Click Choose an image and select a square logo or picture for best results.
  2. Leave Keep transparent background on for PNG logos, or uncheck it and pick a background color to fill the icon.
  3. Click Generate favicons to render every size on a live preview grid.
  4. Click any size to download its PNG, then copy the HTML snippet into your page's .

Which favicon sizes do you need?

At a minimum, ship a 32×32 and 16×16 PNG for browser tabs. Add a 180×180 apple-touch-icon so iOS shows a sharp icon when users add your site to their home screen, and include 192×192 and 512×512 icons so Android and installable web apps display correctly. This tool generates all of these plus a few in-between sizes so you are covered everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is this favicon generator free?

Yes. Every tool on ToolsSoup is completely free to use, with no account, sign-up, watermarks, or hidden limits.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. All favicon rendering happens locally in your browser using the HTML canvas, so your image is never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone but you.

What image should I use for a favicon?

Use a square image with a simple, high-contrast design — logos and bold symbols work best because favicons are displayed very small. If your image is not square it will be scaled to fit, so cropping it to a square first gives the cleanest result.

Do I need an .ico file?

Not anymore. All modern browsers support PNG favicons referenced with link tags, which is what this tool generates. PNGs give you sharp icons at every size without the limitations of the old .ico format.

How do I add the favicon to my website?

Download the PNG sizes, upload them to your site's root or assets folder, then paste the generated HTML link tags into the of your pages, adjusting the href paths to match where you stored the files.
