How to create a favicon from PNG, JPG, SVG, or any image
imglogotool.com Favicon Generator converts any image — PNG, JPG, SVG, WebP, GIF, or BMP — to a multi-size .ico favicon file and individual PNG icons, ready for your website, PWA, or app. Unlike other favicon generators, your images are never uploaded to any server. All processing runs 100% in your browser using the Canvas API.
Drop your image into the generator above, click browse, or paste from clipboard. Any image format works — PNG and SVG with transparency give best results.
Choose sizes and shape. Select which sizes to include (16, 32, 48 for browsers; 180 for Apple; 192, 512 for Android/PWA). Pick square, rounded, or circle shape.
Download .ico or PNG. Click "Download .ico" for a multi-size favicon file, or download individual PNG sizes for Apple Touch Icon and web app manifests.

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a favicon for my website?
Drop your logo or image into the generator above. Select the sizes you need (16, 32, 48 for browsers; 180 for Apple; 192, 512 for Android/PWA). Click Download .ico. Place the file in your site root and add <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico"> to your HTML head.
What is a favicon and why do I need one?
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, mobile home screens, and Google search results. Without one, your site shows a generic globe icon — which looks unprofessional and reduces trust. Every website should have a favicon.
How to convert PNG to ICO?
Drop your PNG file into this favicon generator. It converts PNG to ICO instantly in your browser — no upload needed. The .ico file contains multiple sizes so browsers can pick the best one.
What favicon sizes do I need?
16×16 and 32×32 are essential for browser tabs. 48×48 for Windows taskbar. 180×180 as Apple Touch Icon for iOS. 192×192 and 512×512 for Android and PWA. This tool lets you select exactly which sizes to include.
Is this favicon generator free and private?
Yes, 100% free with no signup, no watermark, and no limits. Unlike favicon.io and RealFaviconGenerator, your images are never uploaded to any server — all processing runs locally in your browser.
What is the difference between .ico and .png favicon?
ICO is a container that holds multiple sizes in one file — browsers pick the best size automatically. PNG favicons are single-size files specified via <link> tags. Modern sites use both: .ico for legacy support and PNG for Apple Touch Icons and web app manifests.
Can I make a rounded or circular favicon?
Yes. Select the Rounded or Circle shape option. This clips your image before encoding — popular for modern web apps and PWAs. Square is the traditional format.
What image format works best as input?
PNG or SVG with a transparent background gives the best results. But any format works — JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP. The tool automatically crops and scales your image to each favicon size.
How do I add a favicon to WordPress / Next.js / Nuxt?
WordPress: upload via Appearance > Customize > Site Identity. Next.js: place favicon.ico in the /app directory. Nuxt: place in /public and add a link tag in nuxt.config.ts head. For all platforms, download the .ico and PNG files from this tool first.
