About Favicon Maker

The Favicon Maker generates a complete set of website favicons from a single source image. Web developers and site owners use it because browsers and devices expect many icon sizes and formats, and producing them by hand is tedious. Upload a square PNG, JPG, or SVG image of at least 512 by 512 pixels, choose the sizes you need, optionally add a solid background color for logos with transparency, and generate the package. The tool produces ICO, PNG, and Apple Touch Icon files along with HTML code snippets for integration. All resizing happens locally in the browser, so your logo is never transmitted to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use a square PNG, JPG, or SVG at least 512 by 512 pixels. Simple, bold designs stay recognizable at the small sizes favicons are displayed at.
