# Favicon Generator

Drop in a square image and get the whole set of icon sizes a browser, a phone home screen and an app manifest ask for, as PNG files you can download individually or as one ZIP, along with the exact link tags to paste into your page. The resizing is done by your own browser, so the image is never uploaded.

This tool runs entirely in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed.

## How to use it

1. **Drop in a square image.** Choose or drag a PNG, JPEG, WebP or SVG. A square source of 512 pixels or more gives the cleanest result.
2. **Review every size.** Each generated size is previewed at its real dimensions, so you can see whether the 16 pixel version is still readable before you use it.
3. **Download and paste the tags.** Download the icons individually or as one ZIP, then copy the generated link tags into your page head.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the favicon generator free?

Yes, free with no sign-up, and there is no limit on how many icon sets you generate.

### Is my image uploaded?

No. The resizing happens entirely in your browser using a canvas, so the image never leaves your device.

### What sizes do I get?

The ones browsers and phones actually request: 16, 32 and 48 for tabs and bookmarks, 180 for the Apple touch icon, and 192 and 512 for a web app manifest.

### Do I get a .ico file?

No, PNG only. Every browser in use reads a PNG favicon through a tag; an .ico is only needed as the no-tag fallback at the site root.

### What image should I start with?

A square PNG of at least 512 pixels. Check how it looks at 16 pixels before shipping it: fine detail and wordmarks disappear at tab size.

### The old icon is still showing after I updated it.

Browsers cache favicons aggressively and a normal refresh often will not clear one. Open the icon file directly to confirm the new version is being served, then give it time.
