Alternatives

Other tools for the same job, and what each one does well:

RealFaviconGenerator — Lets you tune the icon separately for each platform (iOS, Android, Windows, Google), creates an SVG favicon and checks an existing installation.
favicon.io — A quick generator from text, an image, SVG or an emoji that downloads a ZIP with icons and site.webmanifest.

When to choose this tool: When your logo must not go to someone else’s server and you want the whole set at once — ICO, PNGs, manifest, SVG and code — with tab, search and phone previews, in English, Russian, Ukrainian or Polish.

Free Favicon Generator

A favicon is your site’s icon in browser tabs, bookmarks, on phone home screens and next to your URL in Google’s mobile results. This generator makes the full set from a logo, 1–3 letters or an emoji: a favicon.ico with 16, 32 and 48 px images in one file, 16×16 and 32×32 PNGs, a 180×180 apple-touch-icon for iPhone (with a solid background, because iOS turns transparency black), 192 and 512 icons for Android and a site.webmanifest — plus a favicon.svg for text and emoji. Small sizes are scaled down from a large render in steps, so they stay clean. The preview shows a light and dark browser tab, a search result and home screens. Everything is made in your browser and downloads as one ZIP.

FAQ

At minimum: a favicon.ico in the site root (browsers look for it on their own), a 32×32 PNG and a 180×180 apple-touch-icon. For Android and installing the site as an app, add 192 and 512 icons in site.webmanifest. A favicon.svg stays sharp on any screen, but Safari on iOS does not use it, so keep the ICO and PNGs.

Google requires a square icon whose size is a multiple of 48 px (48×48, 96×96, 144×144…) or an SVG, and both the file and the home page must be crawlable by Googlebot. Updates are not instant: Google re-reads the icon when it recrawls your home page, which can take weeks.

Nowhere. The image is read and redrawn in your browser, and the ICO and ZIP are built there too; the file is never sent to or stored on our server.

Browsers cache icons for a long time. Open /favicon.ico itself and hard-reload it (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or add a version to the URL in your code, e.g. favicon.ico?v=2. Our favicon checker shows what the server actually returns.

RealFaviconGenerator is handy when you want to tune the look for each platform separately. favicon.io quickly makes an icon from text, an image or an emoji. Choose this generator when your file must not leave your computer and you want the whole set with the manifest and code at once — in English, Russian, Ukrainian or Polish.

Which file is used where

File	Size	Where it shows
favicon.ico	16, 32, 48 px	tabs and bookmarks in every browser; browsers look for it in the site root even without a tag
favicon.svg	vector	Chrome, Edge and Firefox tabs — sharp on any screen
favicon-32x32.png, favicon-16x16.png	32, 16 px	tabs and bookmarks when the browser prefers PNG
apple-touch-icon.png	180 px	iPhone and iPad home screen
android-chrome-192/512.png	192, 512 px	Android home screen and installing the site as an app (via site.webmanifest)

How to install it

Unzip the files into your site root — where your home page lives (or the folder you set in the options).
Paste the code from “Code for <head>” into your site template before the closing </head>.
On WordPress it is simpler: Appearance → Customize → Site Identity → Site Icon — upload the 512×512 PNG from the ZIP and WordPress creates the other sizes.
Verify with the favicon checker: it shows which files the server and browsers actually find.

Designing a good favicon

Simpler than your logo. At 16×16 px neither text nor fine detail is readable — keep the first letter, a symbol or the logo mark without the wordmark.
Contrast with the tab. Tabs can be light or dark, so check both previews. A dark glyph on a transparent background disappears in dark mode.
Padding. For iPhone and Android leave 10–20% padding: the systems round the icon corners themselves.

Honest limitations

Emoji are drawn with your system font, which differs on Windows, macOS and Android; a favicon.svg containing an emoji shows each device’s own emoji.
The generator does not create dark-mode-aware SVGs (prefers-color-scheme) or Android maskable icons.
Legacy browserconfig.xml and mstile files for Windows 8/10 tiles are not created — modern browsers do not need them.
If your source image is under 512 px, large icons will look soft — you will see a warning; an SVG works best.
