Tips
- Upload a source image of at least 512x512 pixels to prevent pixelation when rendering larger icons.
- The generated package includes 16, 32, 48, 180 pixel Apple touch icons and standard Android web app sizes.
- Paste the generated HTML link tags into your head element without altering their sequence.
How to use it
- 1 Upload a square high-resolution image in PNG, WebP, or SVG format.

- 3 Download the complete ZIP archive containing the ICO file and all PNG asset sizes.
- 4 Copy the generated HTML snippet and paste it into the head section of your website.
What you should know
Web browsers, mobile operating systems, and bookmark managers require different icon dimensions and formats to display site branding correctly across high-density displays. Modern browsers prefer 32-bit PNG icons with 8-bit alpha channel transparency for tab headers and bookmarks, while legacy platforms still expect a multi-resolution ICO container embedding 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 pixel bitmaps. iOS home screens demand a dedicated 180x180 Apple Touch Icon, and progressive web applications rely on 192x192 and 512x512 manifests. Supplying a single generic image leads to blurry downsampling or missing icons across mobile shortcuts and desktop address bars.
This tool processes your source artwork directly in the browser canvas, downsampling it into the full spectrum of required dimensions and packaging them into clean PNGs alongside an ICO file. It outputs readymade HTML markup that maps each size to the appropriate link tag attributes. Alpha transparency and color profiles are preserved during rescaling, while unnecessary image metadata, multiple animation frames, and unused color channels are discarded to minimize payload size. For optimal sharpness, start with a square vector or high-resolution PNG rather than an already compressed low-resolution asset.
Frequently asked questions
Why should my source image be at least 512x512 pixels?
Starting with a large square asset ensures that high-resolution targets, such as the 512x512 Android splash icon and 180x180 Apple touch icon, remain crisp. Downscaling preserves edge sharpness, whereas upscaling a small source causes noticeable blur.
Does the generator preserve transparent backgrounds?
Yes, 32-bit PNG transparency is preserved across all output icon sizes and inside the generated ICO file. If your source image has an opaque background, the output will also remain opaque.
Do my logo files get uploaded to any server?
No, all decoding, canvas resizing, and archive packaging execute entirely inside your local browser. Your graphics never leave your device.
