Favicon-Generator

A favicon generator that gives you every file you need

A favicon is the tiny icon in a browser tab, in bookmarks and on a phone's home screen when someone saves your site. This favicon generator takes one logo and produces the full set: a multi-size favicon.ico, crisp PNGs for modern browsers, and the Apple touch icon iOS uses for home-screen shortcuts.

Everything is created in your browser and handed back as a single ZIP, so you can drop the files into your site in a minute. It works for a hand-coded HTML site, a WordPress blog or an online store alike.

How to create a favicon

You'll need access to your website's files or its theme settings.

1. 1

   Logo oder Bild hochladen

   Legen Sie ein quadratisches PNG, JPG, WEBP oder ein anderes unterstütztes Bild in den Upload-Bereich (max. 250 MB). Quadratische Logos funktionieren am besten.

2. 2

   Favicon-Pack generieren

   Drücken Sie Favicon-Pack generieren. Die Verarbeitung läuft in Ihrem Browser und erstellt automatisch mehrere Icon-Größen.

3. 3

   ZIP herunterladen

   Laden Sie ein ZIP mit favicon.ico (16/32/48), favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png und apple-touch-icon.png (180×180) herunter.

4. 4

   Dateien auf der Website einbinden

   Legen Sie favicon.ico in Ihr Website-Root und verlinken Sie die PNG-Icons im HTML-<head> für Browser und iOS-Startbildschirme.

What's in the ZIP

Add the favicon to your website

Upload the four files to the root of your site (the same folder as your home page), then add these lines inside the head section of your HTML:

• <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">

WordPress: go to Appearance → Customize → Site Identity and upload the 512-pixel version of your logo as the Site Icon, or add the files and tags through your theme. Shopify, Wix and Squarespace each have a favicon field in their site settings; upload favicon-32x32.png or your original square logo there.

Designing a favicon that reads at 16 pixels

• Simplify. A full logo with a wordmark turns into mush at 16 pixels. Use the symbol alone, or the first letter of your brand.
• Go bold. Thin strokes disappear. Thicken lines and remove small details before you upload.
• Use strong contrast. Tabs can be light or dark. A solid shape on a transparent background, or a light symbol on a solid colored square, works on both.
• Start square and large. A 512 × 512 or 1024 × 1024 PNG gives the generator plenty of detail to work with when it scales down.
• Check it in a real tab. Open your site with several tabs and see whether you can spot your icon at a glance.

Free and private

This free favicon generator has no sign-up and no limits. Your logo is processed on your own device, so it isn't uploaded or stored anywhere. Building a mobile app as well? The app icon pack generator makes Android and iOS icon sets from the same image, and ICO to PNG pulls a PNG back out of an existing favicon.
