Favicon Generator
100% PrivateImage ToolsBuild a complete favicon set from one image, from 16 px browser icons to touch icons.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
- 1Choose a square image, ideally 512 x 512 or larger; non-square images are center-cropped and the tool warns you.
- 2The six PNG sizes are generated automatically, each shown with its real file size.
- 3Download individual PNGs, or the full ZIP with the icons, favicon.ico and the link tags file.
- 4Unzip into your website root and paste the snippet into your page head.
Upload a 512 x 512 logo and you receive favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, favicon-48x48.png, apple-touch-icon.png (180), icon-192x192.png and icon-512x512.png, plus a favicon.ico that bundles the 16, 32 and 48 px versions in one file, the classic format browsers have used for decades.
- Small icons are downscales: a detailed logo may turn to mush at 16 px. Professional sets redraw the 16 px size by hand; check the preview and simplify the artwork if it is unreadable.
- The .ico file uses PNG-compressed entries, supported by every browser since the Windows Vista era.
- Keep your source square and high resolution; enlarging a tiny source cannot add the detail small icons need.
Different places ask for different sizes: browser tabs use 16 or 32, Windows shortcuts 48, Apple home screens 180, and Android and search results 192 and 512. Shipping the full set means every device picks a sharp one.
