About this tool
Favicon Generator & Checker: everything you need to know
A favicon is the small icon people see in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results — often the very first brand impression your site makes. Yet it's easy to get wrong: a missing favicon.ico, an apple-touch-icon at the wrong size, or a web manifest that never loads can leave a generic placeholder everywhere your site appears. This tool removes the guesswork by generating and validating the complete favicon package browsers and platforms actually expect.
The generator builds the industry-standard file set in one click: favicon.ico (with 16, 32 and 48px images inside), PNG icons at 16, 32, 48, 96, 180, 192 and 512px, a scalable favicon.svg for modern browsers, the apple-touch-icon.png that iOS uses for home-screen shortcuts, and a site.webmanifest that Android Chrome reads. Every file is rendered locally from the same source, so the icon looks consistent everywhere.
You can start from anything. Type a letter, emoji, or short word for a quick text favicon. Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG to convert your existing logo. Or pick from a searchable library of 500+ icons and let the generator style them with a background shape, color, and padding. Because everything renders on your device, there's no upload, no watermark, and no account.
The live preview shows exactly where your favicon will appear: as a browser tab, an iOS home-screen icon with the iOS rounded mask, an Android circle icon, and a Google search result. What you see is what every platform gets — adjust the background shape, padding, and colors until each preview looks right.
The built-in checker turns this into a one-stop favicon tool. Paste your site URL, paste your head markup, or upload your icon files, and it validates the declarations across classic browsers, iOS, Android, and Google — flagging missing sizes, wrong dimensions, and unreachable files. That's the same inspection a dedicated favicon checker performs, with none of the data leaving your browser.
FAQ
Favicon Generator & Checker — frequently asked questions
What is a favicon checker?
A favicon checker is a tool that inspects a website's favicon setup — the .ico and PNG/SVG files plus the <link> and manifest declarations — to confirm the icon renders correctly in browser tabs, iOS home screens, Android, and Google search results. It flags missing files, wrong sizes, and broken markup that stop a favicon from showing up.
How do I check my favicon?
Enter your site URL into this free favicon checker and it fetches the page, reads the favicon declarations, and verifies each icon file and size across platforms. If a cross-origin page blocks the fetch, paste your head code or upload your favicon files instead — all three methods work 100% in your browser.
Why is my favicon not showing up in Google?
Google needs a declared favicon that is at least 48px (a 120px+ PNG is safest), reachable at a stable URL, and served with the right content type. This favicon checker confirms whether your icon is large enough and correctly declared for Google search results — the most common cause is a missing or too-small icon.
Is there a favicon checker for Chrome?
You can use a favicon checker chrome extension, but you don't need one. This online favicon checker runs right in your browser and inspects your site's favicon for Chrome and every other browser — no extension install required.
What is the best favicon checker?
The best favicon checker is one that validates every platform from one URL — classic favicon.ico, PNG and SVG tab icons, the apple-touch-icon for iOS, the web app manifest for Android, and the icon Google shows in search results. This tool checks all of those in a single click, for free, without uploading anything to a server.
How do I check my favicon for SEO?
A proper favicon helps your site look trustworthy in search results and bookmarks. An SEO favicon check verifies that Google can pick up a large enough icon, that iOS and Android get correct home-screen icons, and that every browser tab shows your brand. This checker reports each of those checks as pass, warning, or fail.
Does Bing use a favicon checker?
Bing displays favicons next to results and uses the favicon declared on your page or the classic /favicon.ico. A favicon checker for Bing confirms your icon is declared and reachable so the search engine can display it in the SERP.
What favicon size should I use?
Ship a complete set: favicon.ico with 16/32/48 sizes, PNGs at 16, 32, 48, 96, 180, 192 and 512px, plus a scalable favicon.svg. The apple-touch-icon must be 180×180 for iOS and the manifest needs 192×192 and 512×512 for Android. This generator produces every size automatically.
Is there a free favicon generator?
Yes — this one. The OpenToolLab favicon generator is completely free, runs 100% in your browser, and has no signup or watermark. You generate favicon.ico, all PNG sizes, an SVG favicon, and the web manifest without ever uploading your content to a server.
Can I create a favicon from text?
Yes. Type a single letter, a short word, or an emoji into the text-to-favicon mode, pick a background color and shape, and the generator renders it at every required size — including the classic favicon.ico — in seconds.
How do I make a favicon from a PNG or SVG?
Upload your image in the Image tab and this generator converts it into every favicon format: PNG at all required sizes, favicon.ico, favicon.svg, apple-touch-icon.png and site.webmanifest. For an SVG source the favicon.svg stays fully vector.
What is a real favicon checker?
A real favicon checker validates the full setup — files plus HTML declarations plus dimensions — across browsers and platforms, rather than just showing you a preview. This tool generates and checks the same industry-standard format set real favicon generators use, but entirely in your browser.
