About the Favicon Generator

A favicon is the small icon browsers show in tabs, bookmarks and history. This tool turns any photo into a complete favicon set. Pick a photo, drag and zoom to crop it to a square, choose a shape and background, and download everything.

You get a favicon.ico containing 16, 32 and 48 pixel icons, PNG icons at 16 and 32 pixels, a 180 pixel Apple touch icon, and 192 and 512 pixel icons for Android and installed web apps. The page also writes the HTML you need to paste into your site.

How to make a favicon from a photo

  1. Select a photo, or drop one on the page.
  2. Drag and zoom until the part you want fills the square.
  3. Choose a shape and background.
  4. Download the .zip, or single files, and paste the HTML into your site.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a favicon be?

A favicon.ico that holds 16, 32 and 48 pixel icons covers browser tabs and bookmarks. Add a 180 pixel Apple touch icon for iPhones and iPads, and 192 and 512 pixel PNGs for Android and installed web apps.

What photo works best as a favicon?

A photo with one clear subject, such as a face or a logo, close up and centered. Favicons are shown as small as 16 pixels, so detail disappears. Zoom in on the subject before you download.

How do I add the favicon to my website?

Upload the files to the root of your site and paste the HTML shown under the preview into the head of every page.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The photo is read and resized in your browser and never leaves your device.
