Drag & Drop your logo here
or click to select an image file (PNG, JPG, SVG, etc.)
An Online Favicon Converter is a specialized web utility that takes your existing logo or image (e.g., PNG, JPG, SVG) and generates a complete set of favicon files in various required sizes and formats. Favicons (short for "favorite icons") are small icons that represent your website, typically displayed in browser tabs, bookmark lists, and increasingly, in search engine results pages (SERPs).
This tool simplifies the often tedious process of manually resizing and formatting an image for all the different favicon standards needed for modern web browsers, mobile devices (like Apple touch icons), and platform tiles (like Windows Metro tiles).
Zenfied's Favicon Converter operates entirely within your web browser (client-side). Your original logo is never uploaded to our servers, ensuring your branding assets remain private and the conversion process is fast, utilizing your computer's processing power.
- Upload Your Logo: Drag and drop your logo image file (PNG, JPG, SVG, etc.) onto the designated area, or click the area to browse and select a file from your device. A square, high-resolution image works best.
- Preview Your Upload: A small preview of your uploaded logo will appear.
- Generate SERP Preview: Click the "Generate Preview" button. This will show you how your favicon might look in a simulated Google Search Engine Results Page (SERP) snippet, using a standard 32x32px version of your logo.
- Download All Favicons: If you're satisfied with the preview, click the "Download All Favicons (ZIP)" button. This will generate a comprehensive set of favicons in various sizes (e.g., 16x16, 32x32, Apple touch icons, Android Chrome icons, etc.) along with necessary manifest files (`site.webmanifest`, `browserconfig.xml`), all packaged into a single ZIP file.
- Implement Favicons: Unzip the downloaded file and upload the contents to the root directory of your website. You'll then need to add specific `` tags to the `` section of your HTML pages to reference these favicons. (Instructions for this are typically found in web development guides.)
- Clear or Convert Another: Use the "Clear" button to remove the current logo and start fresh, or "Convert Another Logo" after a successful download to process a new image.
- Secure & Private: All image processing and favicon generation happen in your browser. Your logo is never sent to any server.
- Client-Side Generation: Leverages your device's power for fast and efficient creation of multiple favicon sizes.
- Easy Logo Upload: Intuitive drag-and-drop or click-to-select interface for your source image.
- Comprehensive Favicon Set: Generates a wide range of sizes suitable for modern browsers, Apple devices, Android Chrome, and Windows tiles.
- SERP Preview: Visualizes how your favicon might appear in Google search results, helping you assess its impact.
- Convenient ZIP Download: All generated favicons and manifest files are bundled into a single ZIP archive for easy download and implementation.
- Includes Manifest Files: Provides `site.webmanifest` and `browserconfig.xml` to ensure broad compatibility and platform integration.
- Completely Free: Generate all your necessary favicons without any cost, subscriptions, or limitations.
- No Installation Needed: Works directly in modern web browsers.
- Automatic Resizing: Your uploaded logo is automatically resized to all the required favicon dimensions.
Our Online Favicon Converter uses JavaScript, the HTML Canvas API, and libraries like JSZip directly within your browser to process your logo and create the favicon package.
Here's a simplified breakdown of the process:
- Logo Loading: When you upload your logo, the browser loads it as an `Image` object, allowing access to its pixel data.
- Iterative Resizing: For each required favicon size (e.g., 16x16, 32x32, 180x180), the tool:
- Creates an in-memory HTML Canvas element of the target dimensions.
- Draws your uploaded logo onto this canvas, resizing it to fit. High-quality resampling is often used.
- Exports the canvas content as a PNG image Blob (binary large object).
- Manifest File Creation: The tool generates the content for `site.webmanifest` (for modern browser integration, PWA features) and `browserconfig.xml` (for Windows Metro tiles), populating them with references to the appropriate generated favicon files and theme colors.
- ZIP Archiving: All the generated PNG image Blobs and the manifest file contents are added to a new ZIP archive using a client-side JavaScript library (like JSZip).
- Download Trigger: The created ZIP archive (as a Blob) is then made available for download through your browser.
Because all these steps loading, resizing, encoding, and archiving occur on your computer, your original logo and the generated favicons never leave your device until you choose to download the ZIP file. This ensures both privacy and speed.
- Enhanced Brand Recognition: Consistent favicons across tabs, bookmarks, and search results reinforce your brand identity.
- Improved User Experience: Favicons help users quickly identify your website among multiple open tabs or in their browsing history.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Generates icons for various devices and platforms (desktop, iOS, Android, Windows) ensuring a professional look everywhere.
- Time-Saving: Automates the creation of dozens of correctly sized and formatted icons, saving significant manual effort.
- Adherence to Standards: Produces favicons that meet current web standards and best practices.
- Better SERP Visibility: Favicons are increasingly shown in search engine results, making your listing stand out.
- PWA & App-Like Experience: Essential for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and for when users save your site to their home screen.
- All-in-One Package: Provides a ready-to-use ZIP file with all necessary icons and manifest files.
Your Branding Assets Are Safe
Client-Side Generation
All favicon creation and image processing occur directly within your web browser. Your original logo file is never uploaded or transferred to our servers.
No Data Logging
We do not store, log, or monitor any of the logos you process or the generated favicon sets. Your branding remains confidential to you.
Completely Free to Use
Utilize the Favicon Converter as much as you need without any cost, registration requirements, or limitations on core features.
By using this tool, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a secure, serverless experience for generating your website's favicons.
What is the best type and size of image to upload for my logo?
For optimal results, upload a high-resolution square image (e.g., PNG, SVG, or a large JPG). A size of at least 512x512 pixels is recommended. The tool will then downscale it appropriately for all the smaller favicon sizes. Using a clear, simple design will ensure it looks good even at very small dimensions.
What formats and sizes of favicons are generated?
The tool generates a comprehensive set of favicons in PNG format. Sizes include standard browser favicons (16x16, 32x32, 48x48), Apple touch icons (various sizes up to 180x180), Android Chrome icons (up to 512x512), and Windows Metro tile icons. It also includes `site.webmanifest` and `browserconfig.xml` files.
Is this Favicon Converter tool secure for my logo?
Yes, absolutely. The entire process from uploading your logo to generating the various favicon files and zipping them happens client-side within your web browser. Your original logo image is never sent to our servers or any third-party servers.
Do I still need a `favicon.ico` file?
While modern browsers primarily use PNG favicons referenced in HTML `` tags and manifest files, some very old browsers or specific tools might still look for a `favicon.ico` file in the root directory. This tool focuses on generating the modern PNG-based set. For broadest compatibility, you might consider creating a `favicon.ico` (containing 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 sizes) separately if you need to support very old systems, though it's becoming less critical.
How do I add these favicons to my website?
After downloading and unzipping the favicon package, you should upload all the generated image files and the manifest files (`site.webmanifest`, `browserconfig.xml`) to the root directory of your website. Then, you'll need to add specific `` tags within the `
` section of your HTML pages to reference these favicons. Detailed instructions can be found in many web development guides online by searching for "how to add favicons to website."
