Generate Favicons for All Platforms in Seconds (14 Sizes, All Formats)

Your website needs favicons. Not just one. Fourteen.

16x16 for browsers. 32x32 for high-DPI. 48x48 for Windows. 64x64 for desktop shortcuts. 96x96 for Google TV. 128x128 for Chrome Web Store. 144x144 for Windows 8. 152x152 for older iPads. 167x167 for iPad Pro. 180x180 for iPhones. 192x192 and 512x512 for Android and PWA. Plus a multi-resolution ICO file.

Most developers:

Create one favicon at 32x32.
Hope it works everywhere.
Realize it doesn't.
Manually create 14 different sizes.
Spend hours on something that should take seconds.

Why Manual Favicon Creation Fails

Manual creation:

Takes 1-2 hours to create all sizes.
Requires design software and knowledge of all platform requirements.
Easy to miss a size or format.
ICO files are complex to create manually.

You're spending time on busywork instead of building features.

The Automated Solution

Instead of manual creation, use an automated tool.

Tool: Favicon Multi Format Generator

This tool generates all 14 sizes plus ICO from a single image.

Example: Generate complete favicon package from a 512x512 source

Upload your source image (512x512 or larger recommended).
The tool automatically generates:
- favicon.ico (multi-resolution ICO)
- favicon-16x16.png
- favicon-32x32.png
- favicon-48x48.png
- favicon-64x64.png
- favicon-96x96.png
- favicon-128x128.png
- favicon-144x144.png
- favicon-152x152.png
- favicon-167x167.png
- apple-touch-icon.png (180x180)
- android-chrome-192x192.png
- android-chrome-512x512.png
- Plus favicon-256x256.png and favicon-384x384.png for HD displays
Also generates:
- manifest.json (PWA-ready with all icon entries)
- HTML snippet (complete link tags for your website)
Download a ZIP file with everything.
Drop files into your website root. Add HTML snippet to your <head>. Done.

Total time: 30 seconds. No design software needed.

Platform Coverage

The tool covers:

Browsers: 16x16, 32x32 for tab icons.
Windows: 48x48, 64x64, 144x144 for taskbar and tiles.
iOS: 180x180 for iPhone/iPad home screen.
Android: 192x192, 512x512 for home screen and PWA.
PWA: All sizes plus manifest.json for Progressive Web Apps.
Legacy: ICO file for older browsers.

How It Works

The tool:

Uses high-quality image resizing algorithms.
Preserves transparency (important for favicons).
Generates ICO files with multiple resolutions.
Creates manifest.json with proper icon entries.
Processes everything in your browser (no uploads, no server processing).

Upload. Download. Implement. Done.

Implementation

After generating, you get:

All favicon files: Drop into your website's root directory.
manifest.json: Add to your root directory for PWA support.
HTML snippet: Copy the link tags into your website's <head> section.

That's it. Your favicons work everywhere.

Common Favicon Mistakes

Missing sizes: Only creating 16x16 and 32x32, missing platform-specific sizes.
Wrong formats: Not generating ICO for legacy browser support.
Missing manifest: Not including manifest.json for PWA support.
Poor quality: Starting with a small source image that looks blurry when scaled.
Wrong file names: Using incorrect filenames that browsers don't recognize.

The Bottom Line

Favicons don't need to be a manual chore. Generate all 14 sizes plus ICO automatically.

Upload one image. Get everything. Drop files into your website. Your favicons work on all platforms.
