Built by people who ship icons every week — no signup wall, no opaque server pipeline, no surprise watermarks.
Privacy-first browser processing
Every conversion runs in your tab via Canvas and WebAssembly. No upload, no queue, no server log of your source files.
Real multi-size ICO output
We embed PNG payloads at 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, and 256 px inside one .ico so Windows and every modern browser pick the right resolution.
Paste-ready HTML snippet
Generated alongside the package: <link rel='icon'>, apple-touch-icon, theme-color, and a valid site.webmanifest you can copy straight into your <head>.
Complete favicon packages
One upload, one ZIP: favicon.ico, 16/32/48 PNG, 180 apple-touch-icon, 192/512 android-chrome, and site.webmanifest ready to deploy.

Trusted by creators and developers
Used daily by indie founders, frontend engineers, and agency teams shipping production sites.
Shipped a five-language site last week. FetchFavicon was the only generator that produced an ICO that didn't pixel-shift on Windows scaling. Took thirty seconds.

I run twelve client sites on WordPress. Generating the full apple-touch + android-chrome + manifest pack in one ZIP is exactly the workflow I wanted.

Frequently asked questions
What is a favicon and why does it matter for SEO?
A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results. Google now displays favicons next to results on mobile, so a crisp, recognizable icon directly affects branding and click-through rate.
What favicon sizes should I generate in 2026?
Ship a multi-size favicon.ico containing 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, and 256 px, plus a 180×180 apple-touch-icon and 192/512 android-chrome PNGs for PWAs. The FetchFavicon package generator produces all of them in one ZIP.
Are my source images uploaded to a server?
No. Every conversion runs in your browser using the Canvas API and WebAssembly. Your image never leaves your device, and we keep no copies because we never receive any.
Does this tool work on mobile?
Yes. The full converter, package generator, and previews are responsive and run on iOS Safari and Chrome for Android with no app install.
Is FetchFavicon free?
Yes — every tool is free, with no watermark, no signup, and no daily quota. A premium tier with batch processing and an API is on the roadmap.
Can the generated favicon handle dark mode?
Use the SVG variant in your package and embed a prefers-color-scheme media query inside the SVG to swap fills automatically when the user switches themes.
The complete favicon playbook
Why a favicon matters more than you think
A favicon is the smallest piece of brand surface area a site owns, and the most repeated. It sits in the browser tab during every visit, alongside every bookmark, beside every Google mobile result, and on the home screen of every user who installs your site as a PWA. A blurry or generic favicon quietly erodes trust on every impression; a crisp one compounds recognition over thousands of sessions.
Why ICO still wins on multi-size
The .ico container is unique in that a single file holds multiple resolutions. When Windows draws a desktop shortcut at 48×48 and the same icon at 256×256 in the Start menu, it picks the closest embedded size — no upscaling, no blur. That's why every FetchFavicon ICO embeds 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, and 256 px PNG payloads in one file.
Browser compatibility in 2026
Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Brave fully support .ico, PNG, and SVG favicons including dark-mode media queries. Safari 15+ honours SVG but still prefers the explicit apple-touch-icon at 180×180 for iOS home-screen installs. The safe baseline: ship .ico for fallback, PNG for high-DPI, SVG for vector, and a dedicated apple-touch-icon for iOS.
App icons, PWAs, and the manifest
Progressive Web Apps install themselves through site.webmanifest — a JSON file listing icons at 192×192 and 512×512 plus a theme colour. Without it, your installed PWA falls back to a generic browser icon. The FetchFavicon package generator emits a valid webmanifest you can deploy as-is.
Best practices we ship by default
- Start from a 512×512 source or a square-viewBox SVG. Everything else is downsampled cleanly from there.
- Preserve transparency end-to-end. A solid background fights every dark-mode browser theme on the market.
- Embed PNG payloads inside the ICO at every size — never uncompressed BMP for 128/256.
- Include a 180×180 apple-touch-icon explicitly; iOS will not derive one from the .ico.
- Ship a valid site.webmanifest so the install prompt looks native.
