PRACTICAL GUIDE

How to use Favicon Generator: steps, examples and export checks

Create a ZIP with square PNG icons and an ICO favicon. This guide explains the practical workflow, what to check in the output and when another tool is a better fit.

Open Favicon Generator →

When to use this tool

Upload a clear square image and generate the favicon ZIP. Extract the PNG sizes, ICO and manifest for your website.

A practical example

Use a bold mark that remains recognisable at 16 × 16 pixels rather than a detailed wordmark.

Check the exported result

Open the smallest icons and check their silhouette, contrast and transparent edges.

Common problems and limits

The archive includes PNG sizes and a PNG-embedded ICO, not an automatic website installation. Add the relevant link tags and asset paths yourself.

Choose the next step

Crop Image can prepare a square source before icon generation.

Files, privacy and saving

This tool offers browser processing for the supported operation. Check the selected processing mode before continuing; server options require an explicit upload choice. Keep your original, review the downloaded result and choose a clear filename before sharing it. The privacy policy explains the processing approach.
