About Favicon Generator

Turn an image into a favicon set: the small icon that identifies your site in a browser tab, a bookmark list and a phone home screen. Upload a square source and download the sizes browsers actually request.

Which sizes you need

16×16 and 32×32 cover the browser tab and bookmark bar. 180×180 is the Apple touch icon used when someone saves your site to an iOS home screen. 192×192 and 512×512 are referenced from a web app manifest for Android. A single 512×512 source, cleanly designed, generates all of them.

Design for 16 pixels, not for 512. A logo with fine text or thin strokes turns to mush at tab size. Test by shrinking your design to 16×16 before committing: if it is unrecognisable, simplify to a single letter, a bold mark or a strong silhouette.

Why is my favicon not updating?

Browsers cache favicons aggressively and often ignore a normal page refresh. Force it with a hard reload, or append a query string to the icon link (favicon.png?v=2). It can also take a day or more for a search engine's cached copy to catch up.

Do I still need an .ico file?

Rarely. Modern browsers accept PNG and SVG favicons declared with a <link rel="icon"> tag. A root-level favicon.ico remains a harmless fallback for very old clients and for requests that skip your HTML entirely, but it is no longer the primary format.
