FAVICON GENERATOR / CREATE FROM IMAGE
Create a favicon from your image. Upload and download.

If you already have an image you'd like to use as a favicon on your website, this is the right tool. The Favicon Generator will convert your image into a favicon. You can upload PNG, JPG, or BMP, and the Favicon Generator will output an ICO file.
For the best result, you should upload a square image. You can use a standard image editor if you need to crop your image. Once your image is prepared, upload it using the tool above, check if the preview looks as you expect, and then use the download button to export your favicon in ICO format.
Why do I need an ICO file instead of a PNG file?
An ICO file is a special image file type for the browser. The special feature of an ICO file is that it is multi-layered. Each layer of the favicon contains a different size of the image. The common sizes for a favicon formatted in ICO are 16x16px, 32x32px, and 48x48px.
The most common web browsers can utilize the ICO file generated by the Favicon Generator. The browsers use the different sizes for display in different areas of the website, such as the bookmark bar, the address bar, the browser tab, and as a desktop shortcut.
What types of images work best for the Favicon Generator?
The Favicon Generator works best with a simple icon, logo, or letter. Complex designs do not work well when scaled down with the Favicon Generator, as many details are lost. If your logo is very complex, we recommend creating the favicon using the alternative generator from text.
