What it does

favicon.ico, apple-touch-icon, Android and maskable icons, a web manifest and the HTML, from text, emoji or an image.

  • Text, emoji or image icons
  • favicon.ico with 16, 32 and 48px images
  • 180px apple-touch-icon with a solid background
  • 192, 512 and maskable Android icons

Private by design

Everything happens in your browser. Nothing you type, paste or upload is sent anywhere, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

03

What you get

ICO, PNG, SVG, manifest, HTML, with a Copy and a Download button on every result.

  • favicon.ico
  • Apple touch icon
  • Web manifest
  • SVG

Why it matters

Your icon shows up in browser tabs, bookmarks, search results on phones and on home screens when someone saves your site. Get it wrong and you'll see a blank square on iPhones, a blurry icon in tabs or a black box on Android.

Each place wants something slightly different. iPhones need a 180×180 PNG with no transparency (iOS rounds the corners itself), Android wants 192 and 512px icons listed in a web manifest plus a "maskable" version with a safe zone, and older browsers still look for favicon.ico. This tool makes the full set at once, drawn sharply at each size rather than shrunk from one big image.

How to use it

  1. Type up to four letters or an emoji, or switch to Image and choose your logo.
  2. Pick the colours, shape and padding, and check the tab and home-screen previews.
  3. Press Download everything for a zip, or download single files.
  4. Put the files in your site's root folder and paste the HTML into the <head> of every page.

FAQ

Why does the Apple icon have square corners?

iOS adds the rounded corners itself. If the PNG is already rounded or transparent, iOS fills the gaps with black.

What is a maskable icon?

Android crops icons into circles, squircles and other shapes. A maskable icon keeps your design inside the middle 80% so nothing important is cut off.

Do I still need favicon.ico?

Browsers mostly use the PNG or SVG now, but some tools, feed readers and older browsers still ask for /favicon.ico, so it's worth having.

Is my logo uploaded?

No. The image is read and drawn on this device. Nothing leaves your browser.
