Pro tips

  • Start from a source image of 512×512 or larger for the sharpest output at all sizes.
  • Test the favicon on both light and dark browser chrome — a white icon on a white tab background is invisible.

Common mistakes

  • Using a tiny source image — it looks blurry when scaled up.
  • Non-square artwork without padding around it.
  • Forgetting to clear the browser cache after deploying a new favicon.

Privacy note

Your uploaded image is processed entirely in the browser using the Canvas API. It is never sent to Sounez servers. The generated favicon PNG stays on your device until you download it.

When not to use this tool

Complex animated favicons or SVG favicons with dynamic theming require dedicated tools or hand-coding. This tool focuses on raster PNG favicon generation for standard use cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use an SVG as a favicon?

This tool focuses on raster PNG favicon generation, which covers the vast majority of browser favicon use cases. SVG favicons can be linked separately with a type='image/svg+xml' attribute if your site needs them.

Can I use the generated favicon commercially?

Yes. Favicons you generate are yours for commercial and personal use without restriction. Use them for client projects, open-source tools, or any website with no attribution required.

What sizes are included in the download?

The standard set covers 16px through 512px, including the common sizes for browser tabs (32px), Apple touch icons (180px), and PWA manifests (192px and 512px).
