Generate tools

Generate tools build a new file from an image, text or emoji rather than editing one you already have. The Favicon Generator turns a picture, a couple of letters or an emoji into a complete favicon pack: an ICO file, the PNG sizes modern browsers ask for, an Apple touch icon and a web manifest, all in one ZIP.

Everything renders on a canvas in your browser using the shape, colour and padding you choose, with a live preview at every generated size so you can check it stays legible before you download it.

The ICO Converter uses the same engine in a simpler mode, for when you already have artwork and just need it packaged as a working ICO file.

Use the full Favicon Generator when starting from scratch, since it also covers the Apple touch icon and web manifest a modern site needs beyond just an ICO file. Reach for the ICO Converter, or the JPG to ICO and PNG to ICO pages, when finished artwork already exists and only a working ICO file is missing. A simple, high contrast source design holds up best at the smallest favicon sizes, well before the largest ones a favicon pack needs.
