Other generators create tech debt
Most favicon generators output 15+ files including obsolete Windows 8 tiles, redundant PNG sizes, and deprecated meta tags. We output only what modern browsers actually use - 8 files total. Clean code, zero bloat.

Pro Tip: URL Parameter for Quick Generation
You can pre-load and auto-generate favicons by adding ?source=IMAGE_URL to the URL.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why We Built This Favicon Generator
The existing favicon generators are broken. They're stuck in 2015, generating 15+ redundant PNG files, Windows 8 tiles nobody uses, and browserconfig.xml for a platform that's obsolete. Every file they add is technical debt you'll carry for years. Worse, they force you through multi-page wizards riddled with ads, upload your confidential branding to their servers, and some even charge money for basic functionality.
We built something different. Our generator outputs exactly 6 essential files - nothing more. An SVG favicon that scales perfectly and supports dark mode. A multi-size ICO for legacy browsers. Apple and Android icons for mobile. A Safari mask icon. And a PWA manifest. That's it. No favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, favicon-48x48.png bloat - those sizes are already embedded in the ICO file. No mstile-150x150.png that only Windows 8 ever used.
100% client-side processing. Your images never leave your browser. We use the Canvas API to generate everything locally - no server uploads, no privacy concerns, no waiting. Upload a WebP, AVIF, HEIC, or any image format and get your favicon package instantly. Works completely offline after the page loads.
Modern HTML output with dark mode support. We generate proper theme-color meta tags with media queries for light and dark modes. Apple PWA meta tags for iOS home screen apps. Safari mask icon support. Ready-to-use code snippets for 16+ frameworks - React, Next.js (App Router and Pages), Vue, Angular, SvelteKit, Rails, Django, ASP.NET, and more. Copy, paste, done.
Like all tools on RJL.io, this favicon generator is free, requires no signup, and works offline. No ads, no paywalls, no multi-step wizards. Just upload your image and download your files. Need other developer tools? Check out our QR Code Generator, JSON Tools, or Color Palette Generator.
