Create every favicon size from one image

A favicon is the small icon that represents your website in browser tabs, bookmarks, history lists, and — on mobile — on the home screen when someone saves your site. Modern browsers and devices expect that icon at several different resolutions so it stays crisp everywhere it appears, from a tiny 16-pixel tab icon to a 512-pixel Progressive Web App icon. Making all of those by hand in an image editor is tedious; this generator does it from a single source image in one step.

Pixohub takes your image and re-renders it at each standard size using the browser's canvas, then packages the results as PNG files inside a downloadable zip. The set covers 16x16 and 32x32 for classic browser favicons, 48x48 for higher-density tabs and shortcuts, 180x180 for the Apple touch icon used when iOS users add your site to their home screen, and 192x192 and 512x512 for the Android and PWA manifest icons. That range covers the icons virtually every website needs today.

Everything happens locally in your browser. Your source image is never uploaded to a server, which means the process is fast, private, and works even offline once the page has loaded. There is no account to create and no watermark on the output — the PNGs you download are yours to drop straight into your project.

How to add your favicons to a site

For the best results, start from a square image with a simple, bold design. Favicons are displayed very small, so intricate detail and thin text tend to disappear at 16 or 32 pixels. A recognizable mark, letter, or logo on a clear background reads far better than a shrunken photograph. If your source is not perfectly square it will still work, but a square input avoids unexpected cropping or padding.

Once you have the zip, place the PNG files in your site and reference them from your HTML head. The 16 and 32 pixel icons are linked with rel="icon", the 180 pixel file is linked with rel="apple-touch-icon" for iOS home screens, and the 192 and 512 pixel icons are listed in your web app manifest so Android and PWA installs pick them up. Browsers automatically choose the closest size for each context, so providing the full set ensures your icon always looks sharp.

Because generation is instant and unlimited, you can iterate quickly — try a couple of source images or crops, generate the sets, and compare how each one looks at the smallest sizes before committing. That is often the fastest way to land on a favicon that stays legible in a crowded row of browser tabs.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes does the favicon generator produce?

It creates the standard set of 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 180x180, 192x192, and 512x512 pixel icons, covering classic favicons, the Apple touch icon, and the Android and PWA manifest icons.

What format are the icons?

The icons are delivered as PNG files bundled in a single zip, which is the format modern browsers and manifests expect. You can reference them directly in your HTML and web app manifest.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Your source image is rendered to each size entirely in your browser using the canvas API, so it never leaves your device.

What image should I use?

A square image with a bold, simple design works best because favicons display very small. Logos, letters, and clear marks stay legible at 16 pixels far better than detailed photos.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no account, no watermark, and no limit on how many favicon sets you generate.

How do I add the favicons to my website?

Place the PNG files in your project and link them from your HTML head with rel="icon" and rel="apple-touch-icon", then list the 192 and 512 pixel icons in your web app manifest. Browsers pick the right size automatically.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The generator runs in any modern mobile browser, so you can create and download a favicon set directly from your phone.
