What this favicon generator creates

A favicon is the small icon that represents your site in browser tabs, bookmarks, search results, and on phone home screens. Doing it properly in 2026 means a handful of files, not just one. From a single image, letter, or emoji this tool produces a real multi-resolution favicon.ico (16, 32, and 48px), a 180px Apple touch icon for iOS home screens, 192 and 512px PNGs for Android and Progressive Web Apps, a site.webmanifest, and a ready-to-paste <head> snippet.

  • 1. Choose a source: type a letter or emoji, or upload a square logo.
  • 2. Pick a shape and colors, and watch the live tab preview.
  • 3. Download the ZIP, drop the files in your site root, and paste the snippet into your <head>.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a favicon be?

For browser tabs, 32×32 is the key size (with 16×16 for older displays), packed into one favicon.ico. Also add a 180px Apple touch icon and 192/512px PNGs for Android and PWAs. This generator exports all of them.

What sizes does a website favicon need?

A favicon.ico with 16, 32, and 48px versions covers browser tabs and bookmarks. Add a 180px apple-touch-icon for iOS home screens and 192/512px PNGs for Android and PWAs.

What format should I use — ICO, PNG, or SVG?

Use all three when you can: ICO for maximum tab compatibility, PNG for Apple/Android icons, and SVG for crisp modern browsers. Relying on a single PNG named favicon.png is the most common mistake.

Is the .ico file a real multi-size icon?

Yes — the favicon.ico contains 16, 32, and 48 pixel versions in one file, so browsers pick the sharpest size for the context.

What size should I upload for WordPress or Wix?

Start with a square 512×512 PNG. WordPress's Site Icon and Wix's favicon uploader both resize from a large master; a tiny source file is what makes the tab icon look blurry.

Is my logo uploaded anywhere?

No. The favicon is generated entirely in your browser — your image never leaves your device.

How do I install the favicon on my site?

Unzip the download into your site's root folder and paste the provided HTML tags into your page's <head>. The ZIP includes a ready-made site.webmanifest too.
