What is a Favicon Generator?
A favicon generator turns one source image into the full set of icons a modern website needs — a real favicon.ico for legacy browsers and Windows, individual PNGs for every standard size, an Apple Touch Icon for iOS, Android Chrome icons for PWAs, and a site.webmanifest manifest.
ContentAnchor's Favicon Generator runs entirely in your browser. Upload your logo, tweak the background and padding, and download a ready-to-deploy ZIP. No uploads, no accounts, nothing leaves your device.
How to generate a favicon?
- Upload your image: Drag-and-drop or browse for a PNG, JPG, SVG, or WEBP logo. A square source produces the cleanest results.
- Set the background: Keep it transparent (recommended for logos) or pick a solid color — that color becomes the theme/background color in the web manifest too.
- Pad if needed: Tight logos look cramped at 16×16. The padding slider gives them breathing room.
- Name your site: Used inside
site.webmanifestso Android shows the right name when someone installs your site. - Generate & download: Click Generate Favicon Kit, then hit Download ZIP to grab everything in one file. Drop the files in your site root and paste the HTML snippet into your
<head>.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does the ZIP contain?
A real multi-resolution favicon.ico (with 16, 32, and 48 pixel images embedded), favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, favicon-48x48.png, favicon-96x96.png, apple-touch-icon.png (180×180), android-chrome-192x192.png, android-chrome-512x512.png, a site.webmanifest, and a README with the HTML snippet.
Is the favicon.ico a real ICO file?
Yes. It is a proper multi-resolution ICO containing PNG-encoded payloads at 16, 32, and 48 pixels — the modern format supported by every browser and by Windows 7 and later. It is not just a PNG renamed to .ico.
What image formats can I upload?
PNG, JPG/JPEG, WEBP, and SVG. For sharp results at small sizes, upload a square PNG with a transparent background.
Do I really need all of those files?
For best coverage, yes. favicon.ico handles legacy and Windows pinned sites, the PNGs handle desktop browsers and Android, apple-touch-icon.png handles iOS home screens, and the web manifest enables PWA install prompts with the right icon on Android.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The entire generator — including the ICO encoder and the ZIP packer — runs in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.
Where do I put the files on my site?
Drop every file from the ZIP into the root of your website (next to index.html), then paste the HTML snippet into the <head> of every page. The included README has the same snippet for reference.
