Favicon HTML Generator

What is Favicon HTML Generator?

Favicon HTML Generator produces the complete set of HTML link tags and meta tags needed for proper favicon display across all browsers, platforms, and devices. It generates markup for the classic 16x16 and 32x32 ICO format, Apple Touch icons (180x180), Android Chrome manifest icons (192x192 and 512x512), Safari pinned tab SVG, Windows tile icons, and Open Graph images. The tool outputs the HTML snippet, web manifest JSON, and browserconfig.xml needed for complete cross-platform favicon support.

Web developers setting up new sites, PWA developers configuring app icons, and designers ensuring consistent branding across browser tabs and home screens. The tool runs entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your device.

How to Use Favicon HTML Generator

1. Upload your source icon image (at least 512x512 for best quality across all sizes)
2. Select which platforms to target — all browsers, iOS, Android, Windows tiles, or all of the above
3. Review the generated HTML tags, manifest.json, and browserconfig.xml content
4. Copy each snippet into the appropriate file in your project and upload the icon files

Common Use Cases

• Generating all required favicon meta tags for a new website launch
• Creating a web app manifest with proper icon declarations for PWA installation
• Setting up Apple Touch icons so your site looks good when saved to iOS home screens
• Configuring Windows tile icons for users who pin your site in the Start menu

Pro Tips

• Start with a single SVG favicon — modern browsers support <link rel='icon' type='image/svg+xml'> which scales perfectly to any size and supports dark mode via CSS media queries inside the SVG
• The Apple Touch icon must be exactly 180x180 pixels with no transparency — iOS adds its own rounded corners; if you round yours, you get double-rounded corners that look wrong
• Place your favicon.ico in the site root even if you specify the path in HTML — some crawlers, bookmarklet tools, and older browsers still request /favicon.ico directly regardless of your markup
