Free Favicon Generator
Turn a logo or a couple of typed characters into the complete favicon pack: a real multi-size favicon.ico, every PNG size, the Apple touch icon, a web manifest and the head snippet to paste in. It runs entirely in your browser, so your artwork is never uploaded.
Add an image or type a character to see the previews.
Head snippet<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" sizes="48x48" /> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png" /> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png" /> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png" /> <link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest" />
Upload the files to the root of your site and paste the snippet into your head. If your icons live in a subfolder, update the paths in the snippet and the manifest to match.
Works for websites, web apps and client projects. Check the 16 pixel preview before you ship; if it reads clearly there, it reads clearly everywhere.
Logo to favicon pack in four steps.
Start from an image or text, tune it for small sizes, check the previews and download everything as one ZIP.
Start from an image or text
Upload a logo as PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG, or type one to three characters or an emoji and pick the colours and shape. Square artwork works best.
Tune it for small sizes
Add padding so the mark is not squeezed against the edge, fill transparent areas with a colour if you want one, and adjust until the tiny sizes stay readable.
Check the tab previews
The 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions are shown at their actual size on light and dark strips, so you can judge how the icon reads in a real browser tab before you ship it.
Download the pack
Grab everything as one ZIP: favicon.ico, all the PNG sizes, the Apple touch icon, the Android icons and a web manifest, plus a ready HTML snippet to paste into your head.
Every file a site needs, nothing uploaded.
Favicons fail in boring ways: a missing ICO, a black square on an iPhone, an icon that turns to mush at 16 pixels. This tool covers each one before it happens.
The full pack in one go
One download covers favicon.ico with 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions inside, favicon PNGs, a 180 pixel Apple touch icon, 192 and 512 pixel Android icons and a site.webmanifest.
A real ICO file
The favicon.ico is a proper multi-size Windows icon, not a renamed PNG, so it works in older browsers, bookmark bars and every tool that requests /favicon.ico by habit.
Previews at actual size
Icons that look great at 512 pixels often turn to mush at 16. The previews show each small size at true scale on both light and dark backgrounds, exactly where a tab lives.
Private by design
The image never leaves your machine. Reading, resizing and encoding all happen in your browser with the canvas API, so unreleased logos and drafts stay on your own device.
A brand that holds up at every size.
A favicon is the smallest place your brand appears, and it is downstream of bigger decisions: the logo, the design system, the site itself. We build polished, SEO-ready websites where details like icons, meta tags and manifests ship correct by default. That is the web development work we do at Techliphant.

Common questions.
The small icon a browser shows next to your page title in tabs, bookmarks, history and, on some platforms, search results. It is usually the first piece of your brand a visitor sees, and a missing one makes a site look unfinished in a row of tabs.
A practical set is: favicon.ico containing 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions, favicon-16x16.png and favicon-32x32.png for browsers that prefer PNG, a 180 pixel apple-touch-icon.png for iPhones and iPads, and 192 and 512 pixel icons for Android and the web manifest. That is exactly the pack this tool produces.
Yes, keep one at the root of your site. Browsers, crawlers, RSS readers and plenty of older tools still request /favicon.ico directly without reading your HTML at all. It costs nothing to have and quietly covers every case your link tags miss.
An ICO file is a container that can hold several sizes of the same icon, so the browser picks the best fit; it is the oldest and most widely supported format. PNGs are single-size but simpler and often crisper. Shipping both, as this tool does, covers modern and legacy browsers alike.
Almost always because the artwork has too much detail for 16 pixels. Thin lines, small text and gradients disappear at tab size. Use a simple, bold mark, give it a little padding, and check the actual-size previews here; if it reads clearly at 16 pixels it will look good everywhere.
Upload all the files from the ZIP to the root of your site, so favicon.ico is reachable at yoursite.com/favicon.ico, then paste the HTML snippet into the head of your pages. If you keep the icons in a subfolder instead, update the paths in the snippet and the manifest to match.
iOS does not handle transparency in home screen icons well; it fills the empty areas with black, which rarely looks intentional. So this tool flattens the 180 pixel Apple touch icon onto a solid background colour. You can pick that colour, and every other size keeps its transparency.
It is a small JSON file that tells Android and other platforms your site name and where the larger icons live. It is what makes the icon look right when someone adds your site to their home screen, and it is referenced from the head with a single link tag, which the snippet includes.
Browsers cache favicons aggressively, sometimes for weeks. Force a refresh with Ctrl or Cmd Shift R, or add a query string like /favicon.ico?v=2 to the links in your head to make every visitor fetch the new one. The change is live; the cache just has not caught up.
Modern browsers accept an SVG in a link rel icon tag, and it scales perfectly. But support is still not universal and some contexts ignore it, so treat SVG as an addition, not a replacement. Ship the ICO and PNG pack from this tool as the baseline, then add your SVG on top if you like.
No. The file is read, resized and encoded entirely in your browser using the canvas API, including the ICO file and the ZIP. Nothing you upload or type is sent to us or stored, which also makes the tool safe for unreleased logos and client work.
Yes. A favicon is one small piece of a consistent brand: the logo, the design system, the meta tags and the site itself all need to line up. Building polished, SEO-ready websites end to end is exactly the web development work we do at Techliphant.
Private by design: this generator runs entirely in your browser. Your image is read, resized and encoded on your own device, including the ICO file and the ZIP, and nothing is sent anywhere or stored. It is provided free for websites, side projects and client work.
