PNG to ICO Converter

Turn an image into favicon.ico and every PNG size.

Processed locally — nothing is uploaded

About Favicon Generator

Almost nothing survives at 16 pixels — fine detail, gradients and text below a few characters all turn to mush. Icons that read at that size are usually one bold shape, so it pays to simplify the artwork before generating rather than after.

Convert a PNG into a multi-size favicon.ico (16, 32 and 48px) plus the Apple touch and web-manifest PNG sizes browsers expect. It is rendered locally in your browser, never uploaded.

A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and history. This generator turns any square image into a multi-resolution favicon.ico containing the 16, 32 and 48-pixel sizes browsers use, plus individual PNGs from 16 up to 512 pixels — including the 180×180 Apple touch icon and the 192/512 sizes referenced by web app manifests.

Upload a logo or icon, preview it at real favicon sizes, and download exactly the files you need. Previewing at 16 pixels before committing is the entire point — most logos that look fine in a header dissolve at tab size.

Frequently asked questions

Which sizes does a favicon actually need?

16x16 and 32x32 cover browser tabs and bookmarks, 48x48 helps on Windows, and 180x180 is the Apple touch icon for home screens. A single .ico can hold several sizes so the browser picks what fits.

Why not just use one large PNG?

Because browsers downscale it on the fly, and a detailed logo shrunk to 16 pixels usually turns to mush. Providing a purpose-made small version — often a simplified mark rather than the full logo — looks far sharper.

Where do the files go?

favicon.ico belongs at your site root, where browsers look for it automatically. The PNG sizes are referenced from link tags in your head, or from a web manifest for installable apps.

Common Use Cases

  • Creating a full favicon set from a single logo file
  • Producing an Apple touch icon for home-screen bookmarks
  • Generating manifest icons for an installable web app
