Why convert PNG to ICO?

Every website needs a favicon (the little icon in the browser tab), and the .ico format is the most broadly compatible way to provide one, including for older browsers. Converting PNG → ICO turns your logo or icon into a proper favicon file. A good favicon contains several sizes so it looks crisp everywhere, from a 16-pixel tab to a large bookmark tile. This tool lets you pick which sizes to include (16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 192 and 256 pixels), with sensible defaults already selected. For the sharpest result, start from a square PNG. Transparency is preserved, and the whole conversion runs in your browser.

how to make a favicon from a png

Upload your PNG, tick the icon dimensions you want bundled in (16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 192 or 256 px), and download a single .ico favicon with the transparency intact. It all happens in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and there's no quality setting because ICO is lossless.

Why a favicon needs an ICO

A favicon is the small icon in a browser tab, and .ico is the most broadly compatible format for it, including for older browsers. The trick is that a good favicon holds several sizes at once, so it looks crisp from a 16-pixel tab to a large bookmark tile. Convert PNG to ICO to bundle the sizes you need into one file. Start from a square PNG for the cleanest result, and the transparency is kept so the icon blends into any tab colour.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need multiple sizes in my favicon?

It helps. Smaller sizes like 16 and 32 px keep tabs crisp, while larger ones serve bookmarks and app icons. The tool pre-selects a solid default set.

What if my PNG isn't square?

Favicons are square, so a square PNG gives the cleanest result. A non-square image is fitted to a square.

Which sizes should my favicon include?

16 and 32 px cover browser tabs, while larger sizes like 192 and 256 px serve bookmarks and app icons. The tool pre-selects a solid default set, and you can adjust it.

Should my PNG be square?

Yes. Favicons are square, so a square PNG gives the cleanest result. A non-square image will be fitted to a square.

Does the favicon keep transparency?

Yes. Transparent areas in your PNG are preserved in the .ico, so the icon blends into any tab colour.

Need to resize or crop the PNG first?
