A missing favicon makes your site look unfinished. But the modern web requires more than just a 16×16 .ico file — you need Apple Touch Icons, Android manifest icons, and multiple PNG sizes for tabs, bookmarks, and home screens. Generating all these from a single image saves hours of manual resizing.
What Is Favicon Generator?
Favicon generation creates multiple icon sizes from a source image: .ico for legacy browsers, .png in various sizes for modern browsers, Apple Touch Icon for iOS, and web app manifest icons for Android. Our Favicon Generator produces the complete set.

Complete Favicon HTML
All the favicon tags you need in your HTML head:
<head>
<!-- Standard favicons -->
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">
<!-- Apple Touch Icon (iOS home screen) -->
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<!-- Web App Manifest (Android) -->
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">
<meta name="theme-color" content="#6C5CE7">
</head>Pro Tips
- Start with a simple, recognizable image — favicons are tiny and detail gets lost
- Use SVG favicon for modern browsers:
- Set theme-color meta tag to match your brand — it colors the browser address bar on mobile
- Test favicons in incognito mode — browsers aggressively cache favicons
