Generate all the favicon and app icon sizes you need from a single image with SolveBar's Favicon Generator. Upload your logo and get PNG icons in 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 128×128, 180×180, and 512×512 — plus a favicon.ico file.

Why you need multiple favicon sizes

Different browsers and devices request different favicon sizes. Browsers show 16×16 or 32×32 in tabs. Bookmarks use 32×32 or 48×48. Apple touch icons for iOS are 180×180. PWA icons need 192×192 and 512×512. Without the right sizes, your icon appears blurry on high-resolution displays.

Designing a good favicon

Favicons are tiny — 16×16 pixels is 256 pixels total. Simplify your logo dramatically: remove text, reduce details, increase contrast. A simplified monogram or icon mark works better than a full logo. Test your favicon at 16×16 actual size before finalizing.

Implementing favicons in HTML

Add favicons to your <head>: <link rel='icon' type='image/png' sizes='32x32' href='/favicon-32x32.png'>. For Apple: <link rel='apple-touch-icon' sizes='180x180' href='/apple-touch-icon.png'>.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image format should I start with?

Start with a high-resolution PNG (at least 512×512) with a transparent background. SVG is ideal if you have a vector logo.

Do I need a favicon.ico file or just PNGs?

Modern browsers support PNG favicons. The .ico format supports older browsers. For complete compatibility, include both.

My favicon looks blurry — what went wrong?

Your source image is probably too small or low-contrast. Start with a sharp, high-resolution source image. At 16×16 pixels, complex logos become unreadable — simplify your design.
