How to create a favicon
- 1
Upload your logo
Drop a PNG, JPG, WEBP, or SVG. A square source at 512×512 or larger works best.
- 2
Tune padding & background
Adjust fit, padding, and background so the icon stays clear at tiny tab sizes.
- 3
Download the package
Get a ZIP with ICO, PNGs, Apple/Android icons, webmanifest, and install HTML.
- 4
Add tags to your site
Copy files to your site root and paste the provided <link> tags into <head>.
From one logo to a full favicon system
Ship every icon platform browsers, phones, and PWAs expect — generated locally in seconds.
01
Why multiple favicon sizes matter
Browsers and OS shells request different resolutions. A single 16×16 looks soft on retina tabs; a lone 512×512 wastes bandwidth in the tab bar. A complete package keeps each surface sharp without over-fetching.
02
ICO for compatibility, PNG for quality
favicon.ico remains the classic root icon. PNG icons power modern <link rel="icon"> tags, Apple home screens, and Android Chrome. Generating both avoids broken icons on legacy and modern clients.
03
PWA-ready assets
192 and 512 icons plus site.webmanifest help installable web apps look correct on Android and desktop install prompts. Name fields let you match your product branding.
04
Private client-side workflow
Unlike cloud converters that store uploads, BosConvertPro processes images in-browser with canvas and JSZip. That is faster for most logos and safer for unreleased brand assets.
When you need a favicon package
One image becomes every icon platform browsers and devices expect.
Rebrands & logo updates
Regenerate ICO, Apple, and Android assets whenever your logo changes.

Client projects & freelancing
Deliver a zip package with install instructions so clients can deploy themselves.
SaaS dashboards
Keep product recognition consistent across browser tabs and mobile shortcuts.
Blog & documentation sites
Stand out in crowded tab bars with a sharp 16×16 and 32×32 mark.
Favicon design tips
Small icons need simple shapes and strong contrast.
- 1
Start from a simple mark
At 16×16, text and fine detail vanish. Use a bold monogram, symbol, or simplified logo.
- 2
Prefer square, high-resolution sources
Upload at least 512×512. Larger masters downscale cleaner than stretching small images.
- 3
Test dark and light tabs
Check contrast on both browser themes. Transparent backgrounds often look best.
- 4
Keep safe padding
Slight padding prevents edge clipping on rounded masks (especially iOS home screens).
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a favicon?
A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, history, and sometimes search or mobile home screens. It reinforces brand identity and helps users find your site among open tabs.
Which sizes and formats does this generator create?
You get PNG icons at 16, 32, 48, 180 (Apple Touch), 192 and 512 (Android/PWA), a multi-size favicon.ico (16/32/48), site.webmanifest, and a README with HTML tags.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Resizing, ICO packing, and ZIP creation run entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.
What image should I upload?
Use a square logo or mark, ideally 512×512 or larger, in PNG, JPG, WEBP, or SVG. Transparent PNG works best for modern browsers.
How do I add the favicon to my website?
Extract the ZIP into your site’s public root (or /public), then paste the provided <link> and meta tags into the <head> of your HTML or layout template. Clear browser cache if an old icon still appears.
Do I still need a .ico file?
Many browsers accept PNG favicons, but favicon.ico remains useful for older clients and as a default root icon. This tool generates both.
Can I use SVG as a favicon?
You can upload SVG as the source. The package exports raster PNG/ICO sizes for maximum compatibility. Some modern browsers also support SVG favicons separately.
Is the tool free?
Yes. Unlimited packages, no signup, and no watermarks. The only limit is your device memory for very large source images.
