Need a favicon for your website but don't have design software? Rekreay's free Favicon Generator lets you upload any image and instantly create favicons in all the standard sizes — 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128, and 256x256 pixels. Everything runs in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.
A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results. Having a clear, recognizable favicon improves your site's branding and makes it easier for visitors to identify your website among multiple open tabs.
How to Use the Rekreay Favicon Generator
-
1
Upload your source image. Click the drop zone or drag and drop any image file (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or SVG). For best results, use a square image with at least 256x256 pixels. The image will be loaded entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server.
-
2
Select the favicon sizes you need. The most common sizes are 16x16 (browser tab), 32x32 (taskbar), and 48x48 (Windows desktop). For Apple devices, 180x180 is standard. For Android and PWAs, 192x192 and 512x512 are recommended. Check all sizes you want to generate.
-
3
Click "Generate Favicons." The tool will resize your image to each selected dimension using the HTML5 Canvas API with high-quality bicubic scaling. Each generated icon appears as a preview card below.
-
4
Download individual icons. Each preview card has a download button. Click it to save that specific size as a PNG file. The filename includes the dimensions for easy identification — e.g., favicon-32x32.png.
-
5
Add the favicon to your website. Upload the favicon file to your web server or blog platform, then add a link tag in your HTML head section. For Blogger, go to Settings and upload the favicon image directly. For WordPress, go to Appearance, then Customize, then Site Identity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What image format should I use as the source for my favicon?
PNG is the best choice because it supports transparency. If your logo has a transparent background in PNG format, the generated favicons will preserve that transparency. JPG works too but does not support transparency — the background will appear white. SVG sources produce the best quality because they are resolution-independent.
What is the most important favicon size?
The 32x32 pixel size is the most universally used — it covers browser tabs on most desktop browsers and is the standard for bookmarks. However, for full coverage across all devices, you should also include 16x16 (some older browsers), 180x180 (Apple Touch Icon for iOS), and 192x192 (Android Chrome and PWA).
Does this tool generate ICO files?
This tool generates PNG files, which are the modern standard for favicons. All current browsers support PNG favicons natively. If you specifically need a legacy .ico file (for very old browsers like IE 10 and below), you can use the generated 16x16 and 32x32 PNGs and convert them using a free online ICO converter. However, for the vast majority of websites in 2026, PNG favicons are sufficient and recommended.
What size should my source image be?
Your source image should ideally be at least 512x512 pixels and square (1:1 aspect ratio). This ensures the largest favicon size (512x512 for PWAs) is generated at full resolution without upscaling. If your source is smaller than the requested size, the tool will still generate the favicon but the result may appear slightly soft or blurry at larger sizes.
How do I add a favicon to my Blogger website?
In Blogger, go to Settings, then scroll to the "Favicon" section under Basic. Click "Choose File" and upload the 32x32 PNG generated by this tool. Blogger will automatically serve this favicon in browser tabs for all visitors. For more complete coverage, you can also add link tags manually in your theme HTML under the head section.
Is this tool really free with no watermarks?
Yes. The Rekreay Favicon Generator is completely free. There are no watermarks, no registration required, no download limits, and no premium tier. You can generate as many favicons as you need for personal or commercial use.
