Square image, 512×512 or larger, PNG/SVG works best
How to use
- Drop a square PNG or SVG, ideally 512×512 pixels or larger.
- Inspect the generated size previews and copy the HTML snippet if your site needs it.
- Download the icon set and place the files where your website expects them.
Before you download
Test the 16 px preview before publishing. A simple, high-contrast mark survives browser tabs better than text or fine detail; keep the source SVG or PNG so you can regenerate the set later.
What you get
- favicon.ico — a real multi-size .ico (16+32+48) built in your browser, for maximum compatibility.
- favicon-16 / 32 / 48 — classic tab icons.
- apple-touch-icon (180) — iOS home screen.
- 192 / 512 — Android and PWA manifest icons.
Tips for icons that stay readable at 16 px
Non-square images are center-cropped automatically. Use a simple, high-contrast mark — fine detail turns to mush at 16 px. Downscaling here happens in halving steps, which keeps edges noticeably crisper than a single big resize. Starting from a vector? Read SVG vs PNG for logos and icons first.
Frequently asked questions
Do I still need a .ico file in 2026?
It is still the most bulletproof option: old browsers, RSS readers, bookmark managers and many crawlers request
/favicon.ico by convention. This tool builds a genuine multi-size .ico (16+32+48 in one file), not a renamed PNG.What source image works best?
A square PNG or SVG of at least 512×512 with a simple, high-contrast mark. Non-square images are center-cropped automatically. Fine detail and thin lines disappear at 16 px — when in doubt, simplify.
Which sizes does my website actually need?
The set this tool produces covers everything current: favicon.ico + 32 px PNG for tabs, 180 px for iOS home screens, and 192/512 px for Android and PWA manifests. Copy the generated HTML snippet and you are done.
