Introducing Favicon Generator: All Sizes + Manifest in Seconds

Every website needs favicons. But creating all the different sizes—16×16, 32×32, 180×180 for Apple Touch Icon, 192×192 and 512×512 for PWAs—is tedious. And then you need the manifest files. And the HTML snippets. It adds up.

That's why we built Favicon Generator—a free, privacy-first tool that creates everything you need from a single image upload.

The Favicon Problem

When you're setting up a website, you need more than just a single favicon.ico:

favicon-16x16.png - Browser tabs
favicon-32x32.png - Standard favicon
favicon-48x48.png - Windows site icon
apple-touch-icon.png (180×180) - iOS home screen
android-chrome-192x192.png - Android home screen
android-chrome-512x512.png - PWA splash screen

Plus you need:

manifest.json or site.webmanifest for PWAs
The correct <link> tags in your HTML <head>

Most developers either:

Use an online tool that uploads their image to unknown servers
Manually resize in an image editor (tedious!)
Skip some sizes and hope for the best

None of these are great options.

A Better Way

Favicon Generator solves this with three principles:

🔒 Privacy First

Your images never leave your browser. All processing happens client-side using the Canvas API. No uploads, no server storage, no tracking. Your images are yours.

⚡ Fast & Complete

Upload one image, get everything:

All standard favicon sizes
Apple Touch Icon
Android Chrome icons
manifest.json
site.webmanifest
Ready-to-paste HTML

Download as a ZIP, extract to your /public folder, done.

🎨 Simple Interface

Drag and drop your image (PNG, JPG, SVG, or WebP), see instant previews of all sizes, and download. No signup, no account, no friction.

How to Use It

Prepare your image: Use a square image, ideally 512×512 or larger. Simple icons work best at small sizes.
Upload: Drag and drop onto the page, or click to browse.
Preview: See how your favicon looks at each size. Make sure it's recognizable even at 16×16.
Download: Get a ZIP with all files and code snippets.
Install: Extract to your project's /public folder and add the HTML to your <head>:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">

That's it. Complete favicon setup in under a minute.

Why Client-Side Processing?

We could have built this as a server-side tool—upload an image, process it on our servers, send back the results. But we chose client-side for important reasons:

Privacy: Your images, especially logos, are your intellectual property. They shouldn't be uploaded to random servers.
Speed: No network round-trip means instant results. The processing happens as fast as your browser can run it.
Reliability: Works even on slow connections. Once the page loads, everything runs locally.
Trust: You can inspect the code. Nothing leaves your browser.

Tips for Great Favicons

Start with a square image: Non-square images will be cropped or distorted.
Use 512×512 or larger: Scaling down preserves quality. Scaling up creates blur.
Keep it simple: Complex details disappear at 16×16. Favicons should be recognizable at a glance.
Test on different backgrounds: Your favicon will appear on light and dark browser themes.
Use solid colors: Gradients can look muddy at small sizes.
