Understanding Favicon Generation
Browser Tab Icon
A favicon is the small square icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, and history for your site.
Automatic Center Crop
Non-square source images are cropped evenly from the center so the favicon isn't stretched or distorted.
Apple Touch Icon Size
The 180x180 preset covers the size iOS uses when a site is added to a home screen.
Local Processing
Generation happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your image is never uploaded.
PNG Favicons vs. .ico Files
Modern browsers fully support PNG favicons referenced via a standard <link rel="icon" type="image/png"> tag, so a single well-sized PNG (like this tool produces) is sufficient for virtually all current use cases — the older multi-resolution .ico format is mainly a legacy requirement for very old browsers.
Key Takeaways
- Common Sizes: Choose from standard favicon and Apple Touch Icon dimensions.
- Center-Cropped: Non-square images are cropped from the center to avoid distortion.
- Client-Side Only: All generation happens locally in your browser — no data is ever sent to a server.
