Favicon Generator (SVG to ICO, PNG to ICO) + App Icon Generator
This favicon generator creates a production-ready favicon.ico and a complete set of app icons from one uploaded image. It converts SVG to ICO and also supports PNG to ICO, JPG to ICO, and WEBP to ICO, then exports the exact sizes modern browsers and platforms expect. You get an instant preview, then you can download individual files or a single ZIP. Everything runs client-side in your browser, so the source image is not uploaded.
/favicon.ico convention.What you get after one upload
A real multi-size .ICO
Browsers and tooling still treat favicon.ico as a special case. Many user agents will request /favicon.ico automatically, even when you provide other icon links. Generating a proper ICO (with multiple embedded sizes) reduces missing icons and avoids surprises when a browser falls back to the legacy path.
PNG icons for targeted sizes
Some platforms prefer (or heavily rely on) PNG icons at specific sizes. A clean 16Ă—16 and 32Ă—32 helps in tabs and bookmarks, while larger PNGs cover modern UI surfaces where the icon is shown at higher resolution. Exporting a set means you do not have to repeatedly resize and re-export as requirements change.
App icons and PWA-ready assets
When users pin your site or install it as an app, platforms need larger square icons. This generator outputs the common sizes used by Apple touch icons and by Chrome/Android for installable web apps. You can drop them into your public folder and reference them from your head snippet and manifest without guessing the sizing grid.
What a favicon is (in practical terms)
A favicon is the small icon used to represent your site across a bunch of UI surfaces: browser tabs, bookmarks, history lists, and pinned shortcuts. The generator’s main job is to produce a set of files that cover those surfaces without you having to manually resize, export, and wire everything up. Shipping a proper favicon.ico plus a small set of PNG sizes covers the broadest range of environments with minimal maintenance.
App icons, PWA icons, and why sizes matter
“App icon” usually means a larger square icon used when a site is installed or saved to a home screen. PWAs and platform launchers want higher-resolution icons so they look sharp on modern displays. The generator exports the common install sizes so you can use them in a web manifest and in platform-specific link tags, instead of trying to remember a shifting list of required dimensions.
How to use the generated files in production
- Put
favicon.icoat your site root:public/favicon.ico(or your framework’s public folder). - Put PNG icons in
public/(orpublic/icons/) and keep the paths in the snippet consistent. - Paste the generated
<head>snippet into your layout (HTML template, React root, Next.jsapp/head, etc). - If you use
site.webmanifest, place it inpublic/site.webmanifestand verify it is served with the right content type. - Hard refresh and test in a private window. Favicons are cached aggressively.
Troubleshooting: “My favicon isn’t changing”
- Hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 / Cmd+Shift+R) and test in a private window.
- Clear site data for your domain, then reload.
- Confirm the browser is requesting
/favicon.icoand your server is returning the new file (not an old CDN copy). - If you changed filenames, update every
<link rel="icon">path too.
Export workflow
SVG to ICO Converter: practical workflow notes
Create favicon.ico output from SVG logos and icons with the existing favicon generator. Use this page when that specific output is the fastest path, then jump to the related tools below if you need a different export, cleanup, or craft-file workflow.
Best for
- svg to ico
- Browser-safe SVG export
- Specific pixel sizes or document output
- Transparent PNG/WebP or flattened JPG/PDF handoff
Settings to try
- Set width, height, scale, and aspect lock before export.
- Use transparent backgrounds for PNG/WebP and solid backgrounds for JPG/PDF.
- Preview the raster output before downloading.
Useful limits
- SVG export routes render with browser canvas or PDF libraries, not Potrace tracing.
- External fonts or linked images may render differently unless embedded.
- Use SVG cleanup first if the source markup is messy or unsafe.
