Create Favicon PNGs from Your Logo
When this applies
Favicons are small but visible everywhere: tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens. Start from a crisp logo or mark, export a few square PNGs, and wire them in your HTML metadata.
Tool to use
Create square PNG favicons from any image — common sizes, browser-only.
Open Favicon Generator →Steps
- 1Prepare a square or nearly-square source image (SVG or high-res PNG is ideal).
- 2Upload the file and preview how it scales.
- 3Download 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48 PNGs as needed.
- 4Reference the icons in your site head (and PWA manifest if applicable).
- 5Clear CDN/browser cache if an old icon persists after deploy.
Examples
- Product logo simplified to a single mark for 16×16 clarity.
- App icon exported at 32×32 for desktop tab crispness.
What to avoid
- Using a wide banner that becomes unreadable at 16×16.
- Forgetting to test on both light and dark browser chrome.
- Shipping only one size when platforms expect multiple.
