Create Favicon Online — Generate Website Icons Free

Every website needs a favicon. The MyPDF Favicon Creator generates all the icon sizes and formats you need — ICO for browsers, PNG for modern devices, and Apple Touch icons — from a single image upload.

How to Create a Favicon

1. Upload any image (ideally square, 512x512 px or larger).
2. Preview the favicon at different sizes and adjust cropping if needed.
3. Download the complete favicon package (ICO + multiple PNG sizes).

Generated Favicon Sizes

File	Size	Purpose
favicon.ico	16x16, 32x32, 48x48	Browser tab, bookmarks
favicon-16x16.png	16x16	Modern browsers
favicon-32x32.png	32x32	Taskbar, shortcuts
apple-touch-icon.png	180x180	iOS home screen
android-chrome-192x192.png	192x192	Android home screen
android-chrome-512x512.png	512x512	Android splash screen

Practical Tips

• Start with a square image at least 512x512 px. The tool scales down for smaller sizes, so a high-resolution source yields the best results.
• Keep the design simple — favicons are displayed at 16x16 in browser tabs, so fine details become invisible.
• Use bold colors and shapes that are recognizable even at tiny sizes. Avoid text smaller than a single letter.

What favicon format should I use?

Use both ICO (for maximum compatibility) and PNG (for modern browsers). Include the HTML tags the tool provides in your site's .

Do I need an Apple Touch icon?

Yes, if you want your site to look professional when iOS users add it to their home screen. Without it, Safari generates a screenshot thumbnail.
