Favicon & App Icon Generator

Favicon & App Icon Generator converts PNG, JPG and GIF images into Windows ICO favicons and app icons. It offers generation for web, Android, Microsoft and iOS, with an option to create only a 16x16 favicon.ico. Users can keep the source image dimensions rather than resize it to a square. The online editor can create favicons from scratch or let users adjust generated icons; its tools include Draw, Pixel Colour, Eraser and Reset Editor. JavaScript is required to use the editor. Users can choose to add a favicon.ico to a public gallery that can be browsed by keyword, letter and color. Generated files must be downloaded and uploaded to the user’s own server, since the site does not host favicons for inline linking. The about page provides HTML link elements for adding an icon in a site’s document head. The Free plan costs nothing and includes conversion, the editor and downloads. The site also offers account registration for discussion forums and premium site features.

Favicon & App Icon Generator covers image conversion, basic editing and several icon formats, with a free plan. Users need to download the output and host it themselves.

This tool suits people creating browser favicons or app icons from image files, or making simple icons in an online editor. It may also help site owners who want instructions for adding a favicon to a page.

Favicon & App Icon Generator turns image files into favicons and app icons, with a small online editor for creating or adjusting designs. It suits people who need a free, browser-based way to prepare basic icon files; its appeal is the range of formats, while downloads and hosting remain the user’s responsibility.

Overview

The service accepts PNG, JPG, and GIF images and can convert them to Windows .ico favicons and app icons for web, Android, Microsoft, and iOS. You can generate just a 16x16 favicon or preserve the original image dimensions rather than force a square resize. Those options make it useful for a quick website icon or a straightforward app asset, but the workflow ends at file generation: you download the result and upload it to your own server.

For website setup, the about page supplies HTML link elements for the document head. The site also offers account registration for discussion forums and premium site features. Its privacy policy describes collection of device and interaction data, including IP address, browser type, cookies, page views, and use of Google Analytics.

Key features

Conversion and editing

The free tool combines ICO export, app icon generation, and an online editor. Users can make favicons from scratch or tweak generated ones with Draw, Pixel Colour, Eraser, and Reset Editor tools. This is enough for basic pixel-level adjustments without moving to a separate editor, though the listed controls make it a focused utility rather than a broad image-editing workspace. JavaScript is required for the favicon editor.

Gallery and delivery

Users can choose to add a favicon.ico to the public gallery, searchable by keyword, letter, and color. That is an optional public showcase, not a hosting feature: generated files must be downloaded and placed on the user’s own server. Choose another workflow if you need the generator to host icons for inline linking.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes image-to-ICO and app-icon conversion, the online editor, and downloads. It is a practical fit for occasional icon work without a paid commitment. The available plan details do not establish a quota or seat limit, so there is no basis to treat the free offering as capped; account registration separately provides access to forums and premium site features.

Platforms

The service is listed for Android, iOS, and web. Its generated icon formats also cover Microsoft applications, alongside web favicons. Because the site requires users to download and host their output, it functions as an online generator rather than a hosting service.

Who it's for

Choose it for a free, direct route from a PNG, JPG, or GIF to a website favicon or basic app icon, especially when a 16x16 ICO or simple manual edits are all you need. It is less suitable if you want managed hosting or a more extensive editor.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Free conversion includes ICO export, app icons, and the online editor, so a basic icon workflow does not require a paid plan.
• Pros: A single-size 16x16 option and dimension preservation give users control over two common output decisions.
• Cons: Users must download and host the files themselves, adding a deployment step for website owners.
• Cons: The editor requires JavaScript, and its named tools are limited to drawing, pixel color, erasing, and reset.
• Cons: Adding an icon to the public gallery makes it browsable by other users, so it is not the place for an icon you want to keep out of a public directory.

Verdict

The main reason to choose it is that conversion and editing are both included at no charge; look elsewhere if you need the service to host your finished favicon or want broader editing controls.
