Favicon Generator

Turn one logo or mark into standard favicon PNGs, a combined favicon.ico (16 + 32), Apple touch and Chrome sizes, plus a ready-to-paste <link> snippet. Processing stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded to DroidXP.

What this favicon generator does

It resizes your source artwork into the small square PNG files browsers and platforms expect: classic tab icons (16×16, 32×32), optional legacy 48×48, apple-touch-icon at 180×180, and Chrome / PWA-friendly 192×192 and 512×512. You can also download a favicon.ico that bundles 16 and 32 pixel PNGs for broad compatibility.

Fit, padding, and background

  • Contain keeps the entire logo inside the square — best when the mark must stay readable.
  • Cover fills the square and may crop — useful for full-bleed artwork.
  • Padding adds breathing room so edges are not clipped by browser chrome.
  • Solid paints a flat background; transparent keeps alpha from your PNG or SVG (check contrast on both light and dark browser themes).

Presets explained

  • Minimal: only 16×16 and 32×32 — fastest path to tab icons.
  • Standard: adds Apple home-screen and common Android Chrome size — good default for most sites.
  • Full: includes 48×48 and 512×512 for legacy shortcuts and manifest / splash use.

Privacy

Images are decoded and drawn with the Canvas API in your browser. DroidXP servers never receive your file; downloads are created locally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DroidXP upload my logo or image?

No. Your file is read in the browser and drawn to a canvas. PNGs, ICO, and ZIP are created locally.

Should I use favicon.ico or PNG favicons?

Modern browsers work well with PNG <link rel="icon"> tags. A root favicon.ico still helps with older behavior and default requests. This tool gives you both so you can deploy confidently.

Why is apple-touch-icon 180×180?

Apple recommends a 180×180 PNG for “Add to Home Screen.” iOS scales it; starting from a sharp master avoids muddy edges.

Do these icons replace manifest.json entries?

Progressive web apps still declare icons in manifest.json (often 192 and 512). Point those fields at the generated files, and keep <link> tags in HTML for browsers that read the document head.

Can I keep transparency?

Yes — choose Transparent under Background so the canvas does not paint a solid fill first. Your exported PNGs keep alpha where the source supports it.

Why does my favicon look soft on a high-DPI display?

Favicons are extremely small; fine lines disappear. Use a simple mark, a large-enough source (or SVG), and enough padding.

Can I use SVG as the source file?

Yes, when the browser loads it as an image. Output remains PNG (and ICO built from PNG) for maximum compatibility across hosts and email clients.

Where do I put files on my site?

Common patterns are the web root (/favicon.ico, /apple-touch-icon.png) or /assets/icons/. Update the copied snippet paths to match your structure and CDN.

Is the generated favicon.ico valid everywhere?

It uses the PNG-in-ICO format supported by current Windows and browsers. Extremely old viewers that only read BMP icons are rare; if you hit one, export BMP-based ICO from a desktop tool.
