Turn a logo or photo into a favicon.ico for your website. You get one .ico file containing every size browsers and Windows need, from the tiny 16 px tab icon to 256 px.
It’s made inside your browser — handy when your logo isn’t public yet.
How to add a favicon to your website
Upload favicon.ico to the root of your site (so it’s at /favicon.ico) and browsers will find it automatically. You can also point to it explicitly with <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" sizes="any"> in your page’s <head>.
Tips for a sharp icon
- Start from a square image at least 256 × 256 px
- Simple shapes and bold colours read best at 16 px
- Use a transparent PNG so the icon looks right on light and dark tabs
How to favicon generator
- Drop a square image (PNG with transparency is ideal).
- ICO is already selected.
- Download your .ico file.
Frequently asked questions
What sizes are inside the .ico file?
16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 pixels — every size Windows and browsers ask for, in one file.
Does it keep transparency?
Yes. Each size is stored as a PNG inside the icon, so transparent backgrounds stay transparent.
My image isn’t square — what happens?
It’s cropped from the centre to a square. For logos, crop it yourself first so nothing important is cut.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your images are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — check your browser's Network tab, or turn on airplane mode after the page loads and see that it still works.
Is it really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no daily limits and no paid “HD” downloads.
Do downloads still contain my location?
No. Every file you download is saved without hidden metadata like GPS location, camera serial number or owner name.
