Free Favicon Generator
favicon.ico, Apple touch icon, Android icons and manifest in one click
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, search results and on phone home screens. This generator creates a complete, modern favicon set from two letters, an emoji or your own logo. Pick a shape (square, rounded or circle), choose colors and size, and check the live preview on light and dark browser tabs. One click downloads a ZIP with a real multi-size favicon.ico (16, 32 and 48 px), PNG icons for browsers (16, 32, 48), the 180 px Apple touch icon, 192 and 512 px Android/PWA icons and a ready site.webmanifest. Copy the HTML snippet into your page's <head> and upload the files to your site's root folder. Everything runs in your browser.

Tips
- Use 1–2 bold letters: details disappear at 16 px

- Upload the files to the site root and clear the browser cache to see changes
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a favicon?
The small icon a website shows in browser tabs, bookmarks, history and search results. It helps visitors recognise your site at a glance.
Which favicon sizes do I need?
A favicon.ico with 16, 32 and 48 px, a 180 px Apple touch icon and 192/512 px icons for Android cover all modern browsers and devices; this tool creates all of them.
How do I add a favicon to my website?
Upload the files from the ZIP to your site's root folder and paste the HTML snippet into the <head> section of your pages. In WordPress you can also set it under Appearance → Customize → Site Identity.
Can I convert a PNG logo to ICO?
Yes. Choose "Image", drop your logo and download favicon.ico or the full set. Square images with some padding give the best result.
Why does my old favicon still appear?
Browsers cache favicons aggressively. Clear the cache or open the site in a private window; Google may take days or weeks to update search results.
Is the ICO file real or just a renamed PNG?
It is a genuine multi-size ICO file containing 16, 32 and 48 px images, built directly in your browser.
