Transparent Favicon Generator
A favicon with a solid background looks dated and clashes with dark-mode browsers. Generate one with full alpha transparency — it sits cleanly on every theme.

Install the FetchFavicon Chrome Extension to extract, preview, and validate favicons instantly.
PNG and .ico both support alpha channels. Our generator preserves transparency from your source PNG or SVG end-to-end.
For the best dark/light theme handling, ship an SVG favicon alongside the .ico with a prefers-color-scheme media query.

Favicon GeneratorFAQ
Does .ico support transparency?+
Yes — PNG-compressed entries inside .ico keep their alpha channel.
Why does my favicon have a white box?+
Your source PNG has a white background. Re-export from your design tool with no background fill.
Can SVG favicons adapt to dark mode?+
Yes. Embed a <style>@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { ... }</style> block.
