Upload Your Logo or Image
Upload a high-quality logo, image, or graphic file. The tool works best with square images at least 512x512 pixels. Supports PNG, JPG, and other common formats.
Tip:For best results, use a logo with transparent background or a square design that works well when cropped. - 2
Automatic Crop Selection
Our advanced cropping algorithms analyze your image and suggest optimal crop areas using computer vision techniques. Choose the crop that best highlights your brand's key visual elements.
Tip:The automatic crop feature uses edge detection and contrast analysis to identify faces, logos, and important visual elements for optimal cropping suggestions. - 3
Preview All Sizes
Review how your favicon will look across all standard sizes from 16x16 to 512x512 pixels. Each size is optimized for clarity and visual impact.
Tip:Check how your favicon looks at small sizes (16x16, 32x32) as these are most commonly seen in browser tabs. - 4

Performance Tips
- Use high-contrast, simple shapes for clarity at 16×16 and 32×32.
- Start with a square source ≥ 512×512 for optimal downscaling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What image formats can I upload?
You can upload PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF files. For best results, use PNG files with transparent backgrounds or high-quality JPG images with square dimensions.
What's the recommended image size for upload?
We recommend uploading images that are at least 512x512 pixels and preferably square. Higher resolution images (1024x1024 or larger) will produce better results when scaled down.
How does automatic cropping work?
Our automatic cropping algorithms use computer vision techniques including edge detection, contrast analysis, and color clustering to identify faces, text, logos, and important visual elements. The system then suggests optimal crop areas that maintain visual clarity at small favicon sizes.
What files are included in the download package?
The package includes favicon.ico, various PNG sizes (16x16 to 512x512), WebP versions (if selected), a manifest.json file, and HTML/framework-specific integration code snippets.
Is my uploaded image stored or shared?
No, all processing happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers, stored, or shared. Everything is processed client-side for maximum privacy.
Can I use the generated favicons commercially?
Yes, all generated favicons can be used for personal and commercial projects. However, ensure you have rights to the original image you upload, as we cannot grant rights to copyrighted material.
