Create Favicon Icons Online
Favicons are the small icons that appear in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars. This free tool converts any image into favicon-ready sizes: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 64x64 pixels. Simply upload your logo or icon and download the resized versions instantly.
How It Works
Upload any image and the tool automatically resizes it to four standard favicon dimensions using the HTML5 Canvas API. Each size is displayed as a preview so you can see exactly how your icon will look at that resolution. Download individual sizes or all of them at once.
Which Size Do I Need?
- 16x16: Standard browser tab favicon. The most commonly used size.
- 32x32: Used by newer browsers and Windows taskbar shortcuts. Recommended as your primary favicon.
- 48x48: Used by Windows site icons and some desktop shortcut contexts.
- 64x64: Higher resolution favicon for high-DPI displays and certain browser contexts.
Tips for Good Favicons
Start with a square image for best results. Simple designs with bold shapes and high contrast work best at small sizes. Avoid fine details or small text, as they become unreadable at 16x16 pixels. If your logo is complex, consider creating a simplified version specifically for use as a favicon. All modern browsers support PNG favicons, so you can use transparent backgrounds.
