Who It's Useful For

  • Website owners, bloggers, and developers who need quick PNG favicon files in standard sizes without installing software or using a paid service.

Practical Examples

  • Upload your site logo (for example a 512x512 PNG), select the 16x16, 32x32, and 180x180 sizes, click Generate, then download each PNG and add it to your site's favicon or touch-icon tags.

Tips for Better Results

  • For the sharpest results, start with a square source image at least 180x180 pixels. Non-square images are automatically cropped to a centered square before resizing.

FAQ

Does this tool generate a .ico file?

No. This tool generates individual PNG favicon files at the sizes you select (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 180x180). It does not currently generate a multi-resolution .ico file.

What image formats can I upload?

You can upload PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WebP images, depending on your browser's support for the format.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is never sent to AIGuideDesk or any third party.

What if my image isn't square?

The tool automatically crops your image to a centered square before generating each favicon size, so no part of the image is stretched.

What sizes should I use for my website?

16x16 and 32x32 are standard favicon sizes for browser tabs, while 180x180 is commonly used as an Apple touch icon. 48x48 is useful for some desktop shortcuts and older Windows uses.
