Favicon Generator

🎨 Why Every Modern Website Needs Multi-Resolution Favicons

A favicon (favorite icon) is the visual signature of your web application across browser tabs, bookmark bars, mobile home screens, and Google search results. While early browsers only needed a single 16×16 pixel favicon.ico file, modern ecosystems—including Apple iOS Touch Icons (180×180), Android Chrome home screen shortcuts (192×192), and Progressive Web App (PWA) splash manifests (512×512)—demand a complete matrix of crisp, pixel-aligned icon assets.

KitPunch's Favicon Generator processes your logo or artwork 100% locally in your browser using HTML5 Canvas vector clipping and binary ICO/ZIP packaging. You can apply geometric masks (Circle, Rounded Rectangle, iOS Squircle, or Square), customize background fills, fine-tune safe-zone padding, and export both a multi-resolution .ICO binary and a complete PNG asset bundle in seconds.

🚀 How to Generate Favicons in All Sizes

1. Upload a high-resolution square image (PNG, SVG, WebP, or JPEG—ideally 512×512 pixels or larger).
2. Select a mask shape (Circle, Rounded, iOS Squircle, or Square) and choose a transparent, white, or custom brand background color.
3. Adjust the padding slider (0% to 30%) so your logo has balanced breathing room across both dark and light browser themes.
4. Click "Download All (ZIP)" to get all 6 standard PNG sizes (16×16 to 512×512) or "Download .ICO" for a combined multi-layer favicon.ico file.

💡 Pro Design Tip for Small 16×16 Browser Tabs

Fine typography and intricate details disappear when scaled down to 16×16 pixels. Instead of using your full company wordmark, use a bold single letter, monogram, or high-contrast symbol with 5–10% padding. Always preview the 16×16 and 32×32 cards before exporting to ensure instant brand recognition in crowded browser windows.
