About this tool

Favicon Generator turns an image into a complete favicon set for a website. From one upload it produces a multi-resolution favicon.ico, a range of PNG icons (16px up to 512px), and an apple-touch-icon for iOS home screens, all bundled into one ZIP. A short README in the ZIP gives you the exact <link> tags to paste into your site's <head>. A square source image works best. No watermark, no signup, processed in memory and discarded.

What people use it for

  • Add a favicon to a new website
  • Generate all the icon sizes modern browsers expect
  • Create an apple-touch-icon for iOS home screens
  • Refresh a site’s favicon from an updated logo

Frequently asked questions

A multi-resolution favicon.ico, PNG icons from 16×16 up to 512×512, an apple-touch-icon for iOS, and a README with the exact HTML link tags to add to your site.

Different places use different sizes — browser tabs use small ones, bookmarks and home screens use larger ones. Providing the full set means your icon looks crisp everywhere instead of being scaled badly.

A square image with a simple, bold design. Detailed logos lose legibility at 16×16, so a clean mark reads far better as a favicon than a busy full logo.

Yes. A 180×180 apple-touch-icon is included so the icon looks right when someone adds your site to their iOS home screen.

Place favicon.ico at your site root and add the link tags from the included README to your pages’ <head>. The README spells out exactly what to paste.

No watermark is added, and the image is processed in memory and discarded as soon as the ZIP is returned.

Yes. POST your file as multipart/form-data to /api/tools/favicon-maker/ and the processed file streams straight back — the same engine the web tool uses, so results are identical. It is rate-limited per IP like the web version and needs no signup; API keys for higher limits are coming. See the API section above for ready-to-run curl, Python and JavaScript examples.

Yes — Favicon Generator is completely free, with no watermark on the output and no credit card required.

No. Favicon Generator works with no signup at all; an optional free account only exists to unlock higher usage limits.

Usually just a few seconds for a typical file — Favicon Generator starts working the moment you give it your input.
