About this tool
This page opens the favicon generator preset to the 16×16 pixel size — the original favicon dimension that browsers have shown in tabs, bookmarks and address bars since the late 1990s. Drop in a logo or any square-ish image and you get a clean favicon-16x16.png plus the matching link tag.
16×16 is brutally small: only 256 pixels to work with. Fine detail, thin lines and text almost always turn to mush at this size, so simple shapes and strong contrast win. The generator center-crops your image to a square and downscales it with high-quality smoothing, which preserves as much clarity as those 256 pixels allow — but if the preview looks muddy, consider a simplified version of your logo.
Everything happens locally in your browser: the image is never uploaded, which matters when the logo is unreleased or under NDA. Need the rest of the set — 32 px, 48 px, Apple Touch, Android sizes and favicon.ico? Switch the size selector to the full set and generate everything in one pass.
Example. An uploaded picture is center-cropped to a square and written out as PNGs at 16, 32, 48, 180, 192, and 512 pixels plus an ICO of the 16, 32, and 48 sizes.
Limit. The ICO archive includes only those three small sizes and omits 180, 192, and 512.
