Favicon Generator is a free online tool on YouLoveTools that turns a logo or image into a complete favicon set for your website: a real favicon.ico containing the 16, 32 and 48 pixel sizes, plus separate PNG files at 16, 32, 48, 180 and 512 pixels for browser tabs, Apple touch icons and web app manifests. Everything is generated on your own device — your logo file is never uploaded.

Your file is processed in your browser — it is never uploaded.
Favicon Generator — ICO and PNG from One Image
How to Use
- Step 1: Click the upload box or drag your image onto it; a square logo with a simple, bold design works best.
- Step 2: Wait a moment while all sizes are generated automatically.
- Step 3: Download favicon.ico and the PNG sizes from the list.
- Step 4: Upload favicon.ico to your website’s root folder and link the PNGs in your site’s header as your platform requires.
Why Use It
A missing or blurry favicon makes a website look unfinished in tabs, bookmarks and search results. This tool makes the full, correct set in seconds — free, with no sign-up and no software to install.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What image should I start with?
A: The largest, simplest version of your logo you have — ideally 512 × 512 px or bigger. Tiny details vanish at 16 px, so simple shapes and letters work best.
Q: Why does the ICO contain three sizes?
A: Browsers pick the size they need — 16 for tabs, 32 for retina tabs and shortcuts, 48 for larger icons. One ICO with all three covers every case.
Q: My image is not square. What happens?
A: It is centre-cropped to a square first, so keep your logo mark in the middle of the image.
You also avoid the classic mistakes: uploading a huge photo as a favicon, which slows every page load, or a tiny one that turns to mush in the tab bar.
Tip: After installing your favicon, hard-refresh your site (Ctrl+F5) — browsers cache favicons stubbornly.
