Favicon Generator: a worked example

You have one 512×512 logo PNG and need every favicon size plus the exact HTML to drop into <head>.

Generated set + markup

favicon-16.png  favicon-32.png  favicon-48.png
apple-touch-icon-180.png  android-chrome-192.png  android-chrome-512.png

<link rel="icon" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon-180.png">

Different surfaces demand different sizes, 16/32 for browser tabs, 180 for iOS home screens, 192/512 for Android and PWA manifests. The tool downsamples your single source image to each, all in the browser via canvas, and hands you the precise `<link>` tags so you do not have to remember which platform wants which file.

About the Favicon Generator

Create favicons from text, an emoji, or an uploaded image, and export PNG icons in all the sizes modern browsers and devices expect. The tool renders your source onto a canvas and resizes it to each standard dimension, so you don't have to resize and export by hand in an image editor.

Key features

  • Generate from text, emoji, or an uploaded image
  • PNG output at standard sizes (16, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 180, 192, 512)
  • 180x180 Apple touch icon and 192/512 Android sizes (as PNG)
  • Live preview across the selected sizes
  • Per-size and download-all (each file downloads individually)

How to use

  1. 1Choose a source: type text, pick an emoji, or upload an image.
  2. 2Select which favicon sizes you want.
  3. 3Preview the generated icons.
  4. 4Download the selected sizes (each saves as its own PNG file).

How it works

Browsers and devices request favicons in several sizes: 16x16 and 32x32 for browser tabs, 48x48 for Windows tiles, 180x180 as the Apple touch icon, and 192x192 / 512x512 for Android home-screen shortcuts. Pick a source, text, an emoji, or your own image, and the tool draws it to a canvas and downscales it to each selected size as a PNG. All output is PNG (including the Apple touch icon, which is simply a 180x180 PNG); there is no .ico file produced. You download the selected sizes as individual PNG files.

Practical scenarios

  • New site launch

    Generate the common favicon PNG sizes a modern browser expects in one pass.

  • Quick emoji or text favicon

    Spin up a favicon from an emoji or a couple of letters without opening a design tool.

  • Rebranding

    Re-export all favicon sizes from a new logo image when the brand changes.

Frequently asked questions

What source should I start with?

For an image, use a square, high-resolution PNG (at least 512x512) so downscaling stays crisp. You can also generate directly from text or an emoji.

Does it produce a favicon.ico file?

No. All icons are exported as PNG. Most modern browsers accept PNG favicons; if you specifically need favicon.ico for legacy support, convert one of the PNGs with a separate ICO converter.

Does it give me the HTML <link> tags?

Not currently. Reference the PNGs in your <head> yourself, for example <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png"> and <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">.
