  • Simple, bold designs work best at small sizes
  • PNG with transparency is recommended
  • All sizes are bundled in a single ZIP

How it works

Your image is resized to 8 standard favicon sizes plus an apple-touch-icon, all exported as PNG and bundled into a ZIP.

What This Tool Does

Generate every favicon size and format a modern website actually needs from a single source image. The generator produces a complete favicon set in one click: a multi-resolution favicon.ico, PNG icons at 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 192, 256, and 512 pixels, an Apple Touch Icon at 180×180, Android Chrome icons at 192 and 512, plus a ready-to-paste site.webmanifest and the corresponding HTML <link> snippet. Output ships as a single ZIP archive that drops into the root of any project. Source can be PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG; SVG is strongly recommended because every output size is rendered at full sharpness rather than upscaled from a small raster.

When to Use This Tool

Use this tool whenever you ship a website. A complete favicon set tells browsers, smartphone home-screen launchers, Slack and Discord link previews, RSS readers, and search results what icon to display — every one of them looks at a different size. Skipping the high-resolution Apple Touch Icon, for example, leaves iPhone home-screen shortcuts showing a generic letter avatar instead of your logo. Use a single inline SVG favicon only if you target modern browsers exclusively and don't care about iOS home-screen support.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your logo or icon

    Drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG. SVG is the highest-quality source because every size is rendered fresh; raster sources are downscaled with high-quality filtering.

  2. 2

    Pick background handling

    Keep transparency for modern browsers and platforms that support it, or pick a solid color (recommended for iOS home-screen icons, which historically didn't render alpha well).

  3. 3

    Generate the full set

    One click produces favicon.ico, every PNG size, Apple Touch Icon, Android icons, and a site.webmanifest preconfigured with the right names and themes.

  4. 4

    Download and install

    Save the ZIP. Unzip into your website root, then paste the included HTML snippet into your <head>. Test in https://realfavicongenerator.net/favicon_checker after deploy.

Privacy First — No Uploads

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do I need for favicons?

Browsers use 16×16 and 32×32 PNGs, iOS needs a 180×180 Apple Touch Icon, Android needs 192×192 and 512×512 for PWAs and home-screen shortcuts, and the legacy .ico is still requested by older browsers and some tools.

Should I use SVG, PNG, or ICO as my favicon?

Use all three. Modern browsers prefer SVG for its scalability. PNG covers everything else. ICO at the site root is a universally-supported fallback. The generator outputs all of them automatically.

Why do iPhone home-screen icons look squashed?

iOS expects a square 180×180 Apple Touch Icon with a solid background. Transparency was historically not handled well. Use the solid-background option if iPhone home-screen support matters.

Do I need a webmanifest file?

Required for installable PWAs and Android home-screen icons; recommended for any site. The generator outputs a fully-configured site.webmanifest you can edit further if needed.

What HTML do I add to my site?

The generator produces the exact <link> tags to paste into your <head>. Include each size's PNG, the ICO, the Apple Touch Icon, and the manifest link.

Pro Tips

  • If your logo has fine detail or thin lines, design a separate simplified mark for the 16×16 and 32×32 sizes. Automated downscaling of intricate logos produces unrecognizable output at favicon resolutions.
  • An SVG source with currentColor or CSS variables won't render the way you expect — the generator uses default fills only. Inline computed colors before uploading.
  • Always include both an .ico and modern PNG <link rel="icon"> entries. Some tools and browser extensions still look only for /favicon.ico at the site root.
  • After deploying, hard-refresh your browser cache or visit the site in an incognito window — favicons are aggressively cached and stale icons are the most common 'why did this not update?' confusion.
