Make a favicon from a PNG: how it works
What an ICO favicon is
An ICO file holds several sizes of the same icon in one file, so browsers and Windows can pick the one that fits. Most sites also use a PNG or SVG favicon today, but favicon.ico at the site root is still looked for by many tools and older browsers.
How to make one
Start with a square PNG, ideally 256×256 or larger. Drop it on the page; ICO is already selected as the output. Icons are at most 256×256 pixels and include the usual smaller sizes. A non-square image is centred on a transparent background, so crop it to 1:1 with Crop & edit for a full-bleed icon.
Save the result as favicon.ico and put it in the root of your site.
Starting from an SVG logo
If your logo is an SVG, open it in the SVG editor, export it as a PNG at 256×256, then bring it here.
What it does
What you can do with your images
Convert iPhone photos, shrink files for email or the web, and crop to an exact size, one image or a whole batch at a time. Your images never leave your device.

01
Convert HEIC photos to JPEG or PNG
iPhones save photos as HEIC, which Windows, many websites and older apps can't open. Convert them to JPEG for sharing, or PNG when you need lossless quality. It works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox as well as Safari.
In your browser -
02
Make images smaller
Scale images down from 1% to 100% and set the quality for JPEG, WebP, AVIF and PDF. WebP and AVIF are usually far smaller than JPEG at the same quality. Each image shows its size before and after, like

03
Compress PNGs without losing anything
The PNG compression slider trades speed for size. The result is always pixel-for-pixel identical to the original: images with few colours are stored as a palette, and an alpha channel that isn't used is dropped.
Lossless -
04
Crop, rotate and flip
Drag a crop box or type exact pixel values, and lock it to 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 or 9:16 for profile pictures, thumbnails and stories. Rotate in 90° steps, flip either way, and give any image its own scale.
Per image -
05
Turn images into PDFs and icons
Save any image as a one-page PDF to email or upload where only documents are accepted, or as an ICO favicon with every standard icon size inside (16 px up to 256 px).
In your browser -
06
Work in batches
Drop a whole folder of photos, set the format once, and convert them all. Save them one by one or all together as a single
Save all as zip.zip.

- Every step: reading, converting, cropping and saving. Private photos stay private.
- The converted copy leaves out the original's metadata, such as camera details and GPS location.

- Nothing. Images are never uploaded.

- Anonymous usage data: the file name, size and format of each image, the settings used and whether it worked.

Questions
Asked often
What size should the PNG be?
Square and at least 256×256 pixels. Larger images are scaled down to the 256 pixel maximum.
What sizes does the ICO contain?
Up to 256×256, plus the usual smaller sizes browsers ask for.
Can I use an SVG as a favicon directly?
Modern browsers accept an SVG favicon. An ICO is still useful as a fallback for older browsers and tools.
Can I convert a JPG to ICO?
Yes. Any image the tool opens can become an ICO. A PNG with a transparent background usually looks best as an icon.
Where do I put favicon.ico?
At the root of your site, so it is served at /favicon.ico. Browsers look there by default.
Why does my favicon look blurry?
Small icon sizes cannot hold much detail. Start from a simple, bold design and a square image of at least 256×256.
