What is a favicon and why should you have one?
A favicon is a small icon that appears on the browser tab next to the page title. You also see it in bookmarks, browsing history, and on the phone home screen when someone adds the site as a shortcut.
This small graphic serves an important function - it helps users quickly recognize a site among many open tabs. When someone has a dozen tabs open in the browser, the favicon is often the only visible element identifying the site.
The generator creates a complete icon set: a classic favicon.ico file for browsers, PNG icons in various sizes, and an apple-touch-icon for Apple devices. If you are building a web app (PWA), you can also generate 192x192 and 512x512 icons along with a manifest file.
How to create a favicon in 3 steps
Generating a favicon takes just a few seconds:
2. Choose sizes
Select the icon sizes you need. For a regular website: favicon.ico, 32×32, and 180×180. For PWA, add 192×192 and 512×512.3. Download files
After generating, download all files as a ZIP or each icon individually. Below the tool you will find instructions on how to add the favicon to your site.
What icon sizes does the tool generate?
Each size has its use:
favicon.ico (32×32)
Classic format recognized by all browsers. Displays on the browser tab.
16×16 and 32×32 PNG
Standard sizes for modern browsers. Display on tabs and in bookmarks.
180×180 PNG (apple-touch-icon)
Icon for Apple devices (iPhone, iPad). Displays when someone adds the site to their home screen.
192×192 and 512×512 PNG
Icons for web apps (PWA). Required by the manifest and used in app stores.
If you are not building a PWA, you only need: favicon.ico, 32×32 PNG, and 180×180 PNG. These three files cover most use cases.

How to use the favicon generator
Generating a favicon is a few simple steps:
1. Add source image
Drag a file onto the designated area or select a graphic from your device. Supported formats: PNG, JPG, SVG. A simple logo or icon at least 512×512 pixels works best.2. Choose icon sizes
Select which icon sizes you need. You can select all or only some. For a regular website: favicon.ico, 32×32, and 180×180.3. Configure generation options
Set additional options: background (transparent or chosen color), manifest (PWA configuration file), and auto-download.4. Generate and download files
After starting generation, the tool processes the image locally - nothing is sent to a server. Download all files as a ZIP archive or individual icons separately.
PNG sizes
16×1632×32180×180
Transparent background (PNG/ICO)
Generation options - what does each one do?
Background (transparent or color)
By default, the generator preserves transparency. You can also choose a specific background color.
Generate manifest (site.webmanifest)
A JSON file for web apps (PWA). If you are not building a PWA, this option is not required.
How to download generated files
After generating icons, you have several download options:
Download all as ZIP
The "Download all" button packs all generated files into a single ZIP archive. This is the most convenient option when you need the full icon set.Download individual files
Each generated icon has its own download button - you can download a single file without downloading the entire set. Useful when only one size needs updating.
Where and how to add a favicon
WordPress
Most WordPress themes have a built-in option for setting the site icon. You will find it in the admin panel:
Appearance → Customize → Site Identity → Site Icon
Upload the 512×512 file there - WordPress will automatically generate smaller sizes. For full control over icons, you can also upload files directly to the root directory via FTP.
What source image works best?
A favicon is a very small graphic - as small as 16×16 pixels. Not every image works well as a source:
Simple shapes and readable symbols
Simple logos, single letters, or symbols work best. Avoid complex graphics with many details.Square format
A favicon is square. If the source image has a ratio other than 1:1, it will be cropped or stretched.Large enough size
We recommend a source image of at least 512×512 pixels. Smaller images will be scaled up.SVG format as ideal source
SVG scales without quality loss, so icons in all sizes will be sharp.High-contrast colors
A favicon must be visible on different backgrounds (light tabs, dark mode). Choose colors that maintain readability.
