Artwork that survives 16 pixels
At favicon size a wordmark is unreadable and thin strokes disappear. Test the smallest export, and simplify the source if it does not survive.
A favicon set is a ladder of sizes rather than one file: 16, 32 and 48 pixels for browser tabs, 180 for an Apple touch icon, and 192 and 512 for Android and web app manifests. This page resizes onto those squares from your largest artwork, so the mark stays recognisable at tab size instead of being shrunk once and shrunk again.
Commonly 16, 32 and 48 pixels, plus 180 for Apple touch and 192 and 512 for a manifest — all squares from the same artwork.
Tabs render small, so a solid or contrasting background usually reads better than transparency that vanishes in dark mode.
The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the Icon sizes from 16 to 512.
Open the Icon sizes from 16 to 512 in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.

Open the Icon sizes from 16 to 512 next to the original at full size and check text edges, faces, and flat backgrounds; re-encoding softens detail long before it looks wrong in a thumbnail.
Create common square PNG icon sizes from one source image. The tool packages the selected sizes into a ZIP file and includes a simple site.webmanifest that points to those PNG files. It is useful when preparing a small icon set for a website, PWA prototype, app shortcut, or design handoff.
This workflow exports PNG files. It does not promise an ICO binary because browser Canvas APIs do not create every ICO variant consistently. If a platform specifically requires an ICO file, use its documented conversion step after downloading the PNG pack.
Start with a sharp image that has enough detail for the largest selected size. A square source avoids unexpected cropping. Keep important marks away from the outer edge because some browsers and operating systems display icons with their own masks or rounded shapes.
The ZIP contains one PNG for every checked size, using names such as icon-192x192.png, plus a site.webmanifest with matching icon entries. The manifest is a starting point for a web project; review its name, start URL, display mode, and other site-specific values before publishing it.
The source image is processed locally in the browser. The PNG files and manifest are assembled into a ZIP on your device. No account or image upload is required for this workflow.
No. It creates PNG icon sizes and a web manifest. Use the PNG pack directly when the destination accepts PNG, or convert it with a platform-specific tool when an ICO file is required.
Choose the sizes required by your site or app. Selecting only the sizes you need keeps the download smaller and makes the asset handoff easier to review.
Resizing can change the pixel dimensions, but it cannot recreate detail that was not present in the source. Use a clear, high-resolution source and inspect the smallest icon before publishing.
