What the Favicon Generator does

Create favicon image assets from a logo or image for website tabs and shortcuts.

Create the small site icons browsers show in tabs, bookmarks, and shortcuts.

Why the Favicon Generator is useful

A favicon gives a site a recognizable browser-tab and bookmark icon, but assets must fit tiny display sizes.

Every browser tab displays a tiny icon, and a site without one looks unfinished next to competitors in a row of tabs.

Also known as: favicon generator, favicon maker, app icon generator, free favicon generator, online favicon generator, favicon generator online free, favicon generator tool.

How to use the Favicon Generator

1
Choose the logo
Pick a simple square logo or image and start the generation.
2
Adjust and process
Upload a square source, choose the available favicon sizes, preview them, and download the generated assets.
3
Check the tab size
Check the icon at tab size, where detail disappears fast, then download the assets.

Key features

Generates common favicon dimensions
Previews small-size legibility
Creates assets for site integration

Benefits

Tabs and bookmarks finally show a mark that belongs to the site.
The set covers common sizes so one upload serves desktop and mobile.

Real-life use cases

New sites

Give a new blog its tab icon straight from the wordmark.

Rebrands

Generate favicon assets after a rebrand so tabs and shortcuts match.

Tips for the best results

Use a simple, high-contrast mark; detailed logos become hard to recognize at 16 pixels.
Use a single strong shape or letter; photographs and thin strokes vanish at sixteen pixels.

Conclusion

Revisit the site in a browser tab afterwards to confirm the new icon is actually live.
