What is Favicon Generator?
Favicon Generator produces a complete favicon set from a single source image — favicon.ico, the PNG variants modern browsers prefer, the Apple Touch icon for iOS bookmarks, and the matching HTML <link> tags. One upload, full coverage across desktop, mobile, and pinned tabs.
Why use this tool?
- No telemetry, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts
- Open-and-go: bookmark the page once and never look for an alternative
- Instant results — no waiting on a server or upload progress bar
- Your original file is never uploaded — sensitive screenshots stay on your device
- Output preserves color profile and metadata except when stripping is explicitly requested
How to use
- Drop a square image (ideally 512×512 or larger)
- The tool generates favicons in standard sizes: 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 192, 256, 512
- Download the bundle: favicon.ico, PNG variants, Apple touch icon, and the HTML snippet
- Paste the <link> tags into your site's <head>
Examples
Bootstrap a new site's favicons
Drop your logo PNG, download the bundle, copy the HTML snippet into <head>. Done in under a minute.
Update favicon when rebranding
Regenerate with the new logo, replace files at site root, bump the cache-buster (?v=2) on the <link> hrefs.
Common use cases
- New site favicons from scratch
- Refreshing favicons after rebrand
- PWA icon generation
- Consistent favicon assets for all device types
Troubleshooting
- Browser still shows old favicon after replacing files.
- Browsers aggressively cache favicons. Force-refresh with Ctrl+F5, or append ?v=2 to the favicon hrefs to bust the cache.
