Favicon Generator — Free Online Tool

The Favicon Generator takes an image or a piece of text and produces the small icon that represents your site in a browser tab, a bookmark list, and — significantly for anyone doing SEO — next to your result in Google's mobile search listings. It renders the standard sizes at once rather than making you export each one by hand from a design tool.

Favicons are unforgiving about detail because they are usually displayed at 16 or 32 pixels square. A full logo with a wordmark almost always turns to mush at that size; the icons that work are a single letter, a monogram, or one simple shape with high contrast against both light and dark tab bars. If your logo has fine lines or thin text, generating from a cropped symbol rather than the full lockup gives a much better result.

Google requires a site's favicon to be a stable, crawlable URL and at least 48x48 pixels to display it in search results, which is why generating the larger sizes matters even though the browser tab only ever shows a tiny one. The same files double as the app icons a phone uses when someone adds your site to their home screen.

Everything is rendered on canvas in your browser, so the source image you upload is never transmitted anywhere.

Our Favicon Generator is completely free to use with no signup required. For this tool, processing runs in your browser — your files and data stay on your device and are not uploaded to our servers.

Whether you are a developer, designer, student, or business owner, this tool is designed to save you time and make your workflow more efficient. Bookmark this page to access it whenever you need it — it will always be free.
