What is a Favicon Converter?
A modern site needs more than a single favicon.ico. Browsers, tabs, mobile home screens, PWA installs, and search results all request different sizes — 16×16 for tabs, 32×32 for retina, 180×180 for Apple touch icons, 192×192 and 512×512 for Android home screen and PWA manifests. Most teams ship just one size and lose the rest.
This converter takes one square source PNG (ideally 512×512 or larger) and outputs all 8 sizes in your browser using Canvas resizing. Each download is a separate PNG, properly downsampled. You also get the complete HTML snippet for your `<head>` and a manifest.json template.
Browser-only means your logo never leaves the device — useful for unreleased branding work where you don't want to upload to a third-party generator.

Using the Favicon Converter in 4 steps
No onboarding, no signup. Answer three fields and the numbers update live.
Prepare a square PNG
Ideally 512×512 or larger. Square is critical — non-square images get cropped weirdly.
Upload
Drag the file into the upload zone. Preview shows immediately.
Download all sizes
Click each size to download, or use "Download all" for a one-click batch.
Paste the HTML snippet
Drop the auto-generated `<link>` tags into your <head>, upload the PNGs to /public/.
Tips to get the most out of it
Start from a 512×512 source — anything smaller and the upscaled sizes look fuzzy on retina.
Avoid fine details in the icon. At 16×16, anything thinner than 2px source disappears. Bold shapes win.
Test on both light and dark Safari toolbars. Apple touch icons should have an opaque background — transparent PNGs render with grey behind them on iOS.
For PWAs, also generate a maskable icon (a PNG with safe-zone padding) — Android applies an OS-defined mask shape on top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a question? Our team replies within a business day.
Different platforms request different sizes. Browsers want 16/32, iOS wants 180, Android home screen wants 192/512. A single 32px favicon will look pixelated on iOS install and Android home screen.
Modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox 41+) all support PNG favicons via `<link rel="icon" type="image/png">`. The .ico is only needed for legacy IE support — most teams skip it.
Not in this browser version — .ico is a multi-image bundle that needs server-side encoding. Generate it separately with ImageMagick: `convert favicon-32.png favicon-16.png favicon.ico`.
Browsers cache favicons aggressively. Clear cache or version the URL: `<link rel="icon" href="/favicon-32.png?v=2">`.
No. The browser reads the file via FileReader and resizes via Canvas — entirely client-side.
