About the Favicon Generator

Turns any image into a complete set of favicon files at the sizes browsers expect, packaged into one ZIP download.

Web developers and small business owners use it to create a proper favicon set for a new site without opening an image editor, while designers use it to quickly turn a logo into browser-tab-ready icon files. It's one of many free image tools on Toolapt, and like every tool here, it's free to use with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you run it.

Guide

Using the Favicon Generator

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Click to upload or drag and drop an image — a square image works best, since it will be cropped to a square first if it isn't already.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Click "Generate favicons" — the first time, your browser downloads a small ZIP-building library.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Download the ZIP package containing every favicon size and file you need.

  • Generates a complete set of favicon sizes from a single source image, not just one icon file
  • Automatically crops a non-square image to a square first
  • Packages every generated file into one convenient ZIP download
  • Loads a small, well-known ZIP-building library from this site the first time you use it — your image stays on your device
  • Free to use, with no limit on how many times you run it

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the Favicon Generator.

What does the Favicon Generator do?

It turns an uploaded image into a complete set of favicon files at the standard sizes, packaged into a single ZIP download.

Is the Favicon Generator free to use?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it.

Is my image safe when I use this tool?

Yes. Your image is processed and packaged entirely on your own device — it's never uploaded to a server. This tool loads a small, well-known ZIP-building library from this site the first time you use it, but that's the only thing fetched over the network — your image never leaves your browser.

Does my source image need to be square?

No. If it isn't square, the tool crops it to a square automatically before generating the favicon files, though starting with a square image gives you more control over exactly what gets kept.

What do I do with the ZIP file after downloading it?

Unzip it and add the favicon files to your website's root folder (or wherever your site expects them), then reference them from your HTML's <head> the way your site or platform requires.

Why do I need more than one favicon size?

Different browsers, devices and operating systems (browser tabs, bookmarks, home-screen icons, and more) request different icon sizes, so a complete set covers all of them instead of showing a blurry or missing icon in some places.

Can I use the Favicon Generator on my phone?

Yes. The page is fully responsive and works on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers alike.

Does the Favicon Generator have any limitations?

It generates the standard favicon sizes most sites need from a single source image; it doesn't let you design a different icon for each individual size.
