About This Tool

Favicons are annoying—you need multiple sizes for different contexts (16x16 for browser tab, 32x32 for taskbar, 180x180 for iOS, 512x512 for Android PWA). This tool generates all of them from a single image. Upload your logo, get back a ZIP with every size you need plus the HTML code to add them to your site. Saved me hours of manual resizing.

Technical Details

Resizes source image to all standard favicon dimensions: 16x16, 32x32, 96x96, 180x180 (Apple touch icon), 192x192, 512x512 (Android/PWA). Converts to ICO (contains multiple sizes), PNG (for modern browsers), and generates the HTML tags with proper rel and sizes attributes. Optionally generates favicon manifest.json for PWAs.

Algorithm

Image resizing using Canvas API with high-quality scaling. For ICO format: multiple sizes are packed into a single ICO file (Vista/IE6+ format). PNGs are straightforward resizes. Apple touch icon and PWA icons need specific sizes. The HTML code includes all necessary tags for browser compatibility. Modern browsers prefer PNG + SVG, older need ICO.
