Turn any image into a multi-size .ico favicon for your website. We package the standard sizes from 16 up to 256 pixels — every one no bigger than your image — into a single favicon.ico that every browser recognises. Use a square image for the cleanest result.

What to expect
Image to favicon packages any logo or graphic into the multi-size .ico file a website needs for that little tab icon. Browsers, bookmarks and the address bar each request different sizes, so the output bundles the standard 16, 32, 48 and larger pixel versions into one file that stays crisp wherever it is shown.
Use it when launching a site or refreshing its branding: feed in a square logo and drop the resulting favicon.ico into your site root. A clean, recognisable favicon is the small detail that makes a tab easy to spot among twenty others and makes a young site look properly finished.

About the PNG and ICO formats
PNG
PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It is the default for screenshots, logos, UI mockups, and anything with sharp edges or text. PNG files are much larger than JPG for the same photo content — use PNG for graphics and transparent overlays, JPG for photographs.
ICO
ICO is the Windows icon format. A single .ico file bundles multiple sizes (16, 32, 48, 256 pixels) so the OS can pick the right one. The web equivalent is favicon.ico, still respected by every browser. For app icons today most designers ship PNG plus SVG, but ICO is mandatory for legacy desktop apps.

Favicon Generator — Frequently asked questions
Up to six: 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 128×128 and 256×256 — each one no bigger than your image, so a square source of 256 pixels or more gets all six.
Yes — favicons are square. Upload a square PNG or JPG at least 256 pixels across; a non-square image keeps its shape, so its icons come out as rectangles rather than squares.
Because a .ico file holds several sizes at once, and browsers ask for different ones — 16px in a tab, 32px in a bookmark bar, larger again on a pinned tile or a retina screen. One .ico answers all of them. A single PNG gets scaled by the browser, which is where fuzzy tab icons come from.
Something square, simple and high contrast. Whatever you upload has to survive being 16 pixels across, and at that size a detailed logo becomes a smudge. Initials, a single mark or a bold shape read; a wordmark does not.
