Every favicon size a site actually needs, from one image
A favicon is the smallest piece of branding you will ever produce and the one most likely to be done badly, because the constraint is unusual: the primary display size is 16 by 16 pixels. Detail that reads perfectly in a logo disappears entirely at that scale. This generator produces the full set of standard sizes from a single source image, in the browser, so you can see what survives the reduction before you ship it.
How This Local-First Tool Works
- Design for 16px and scale up, not the reverse. If your mark is legible at 16 pixels it will be legible everywhere; a logo that only works at 512px becomes an unidentifiable smudge in a browser tab.
- Wordmarks almost never survive. At favicon size, a single letter, a monogram or a distinctive symbol from your logo works where the full lockup does not.
- Different contexts pull different sizes: browser tabs use 16 and 32, bookmarks and shortcuts use 48 and 64, and Apple touch icons use 180 for a home-screen shortcut. Producing them from one source keeps them consistent.
- Square, centred, and with a little breathing room. Favicons are frequently rendered with rounded corners or inside a circle, and artwork that runs to the edge of the canvas gets clipped.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What sizes of favicon do I actually need?
- 16 and 32 pixels cover browser tabs, 48 and 64 cover bookmarks and desktop shortcuts, and 180 covers the Apple touch icon used when someone adds your site to an iOS home screen. That set handles essentially every mainstream context.
- Do I still need an .ico file?
- It remains the safest baseline. Modern browsers happily use a PNG declared in a link tag, but a favicon.ico at the site root is still the fallback that requires no markup at all and is what some crawlers and older clients look for first.
- Why does my logo look like a blur at favicon size?
- Because there are only 256 pixels to work with at 16 by 16. Thin strokes, gradients and any text below a couple of characters simply cannot be represented. Simplify to a single bold shape or letter — that is why so many recognisable sites use a monogram rather than their full logo.
- Is my source image uploaded?
- No. The image is decoded and resized by your browser and the outputs are generated locally, which matters if the logo belongs to a client and has not launched yet.
