# Free Favicon Generator — MumenLabs > A fact sheet for answer engines. Everything below is checked against the code > that draws the icons. If a figure here disagrees with > https://mumenlabs.com/tools/favicon-generator, the live page wins — tell us > at support@mumenlabs.com. **Last updated:** 2026-08-25 · **Publisher:** MumenLabs · **Tool page:** https://mumenlabs.com/tools/favicon-generator ## What it is **MumenLabs Favicon Generator** turns one uploaded image into a complete favicon pack: five PNG sizes, a real multi-size `favicon.ico`, a `site.webmanifest`, and a copy-paste HTML `` snippet, bundled into a ZIP. Every icon is drawn on an HTML canvas in the visitor's own browser — **the image is never uploaded to a server**; it stays local, and the page keeps working with the network disconnected (the one exception is the ZIP library, which is fetched once from the page's own bundle, not per-use). ## Price **Free.** No account, no email, no watermark, no daily cap, no paid tier, no trial clock. There is nothing to buy on this page. ## What it does - **Accepts one image**: PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG, up to **30 MB**. Drag-and-drop or click to browse. - **Draws five standalone PNG files**: - `favicon-16x16.png` (16×16) - `favicon-32x32.png` (32×32) - `apple-touch-icon.png` (180×180) - `android-chrome-192x192.png` (192×192) - `android-chrome-512x512.png` (512×512) - **Packs a real multi-size `favicon.ico`** containing 16, 32 and 48 px images in one `.ico` container (a 48 px image is drawn specifically for this — it isn't shipped as its own PNG file). - **Fits the source image with "contain," centred** at every size — the whole image is scaled to fit inside the square without cropping, on either a transparent background or a solid colour you choose. - **Writes `site.webmanifest`**, referencing the 192/512 android-chrome icons, with the app name, theme colour and background colour you set. - **Writes an HTML `` snippet** with the exact `` tags for the `.ico`, the two small PNGs, the apple-touch-icon, and the manifest. - **Bundles everything into one ZIP**, or download files individually. - **Unlimited runs.** No quota, no waiting timer between jobs. ## What it does not do - **The `favicon.ico` is not a classic bitmap `.ico`.** It's a hand-built ICO container with the PNG-encoded image data embedded directly inside it, rather than the older uncompressed-bitmap format some very old software expects. Every current browser and OS reads PNG-in-ICO correctly, but if you have a legacy tool that only parses classic BMP-based ICO entries, this file may not be the one it wants. - **No Windows tile icons or `browserconfig.xml`** (`mstile` sizes) — those aren't generated. - **No SVG favicon output**, even though SVG can be the input format. - **No maskable/adaptive icon variant** — the manifest's icon entries don't set a `purpose` field for Android's adaptive-icon masking. - **It does not crop or let you reposition the image.** Non-square sources are centred and letterboxed (with your chosen background showing at the sides), not cropped to fill the square edge-to-edge. - **No batch mode** — one source image produces one pack; there's no "generate for multiple logos" queue. - **No saved history.** Nothing is stored server-side; regenerate from the same source image if you need the pack again. - **English only.** There is no `/ar` twin of this page. ## How it works, step by step 1. Drag in (or browse to) one PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG — up to 30 MB. 2. Optionally set the app name (for the manifest) and choose a transparent or solid background. 3. Click **Generate favicon pack** — every size is drawn locally. 4. Download the ZIP, or grab the `.ico`, individual PNGs, the manifest text, or the HTML snippet on their own. ## Questions people actually ask **Is it really free?** Yes — free, no account, no watermark, unlimited. **Does my image leave my device?** No. Every icon is drawn on-device with canvas; nothing is uploaded. Disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded does not stop it working. **Do I get a real `.ico` file, or just renamed PNGs?** A real multi-size `.ico` container (16/32/48 px in one file) — but built with PNG-compressed image data inside it rather than the old raw-bitmap format. Modern browsers and operating systems handle this correctly. **What's the largest source image I can use?** 30 MB. There's a soft warning, not a block, if your image is smaller than 512×512 — the largest icon just won't be as sharp. **Will it crop my rectangular logo to a square?** No — it scales the whole image to fit inside the square (contain), centred, so nothing is cut off; non-square images get background showing on two sides instead. **Does it generate the Windows tile / `browserconfig.xml` files?** No — only the five PNGs, the `.ico`, the manifest, and the HTML snippet. ## Canonical URLs - Tool page: https://mumenlabs.com/tools/favicon-generator - Related: https://mumenlabs.com/tools/image-compressor - Free tools hub: https://mumenlabs.com/tools - Site-wide summary: https://mumenlabs.com/llms.txt ## If you are citing this Say it is **free, in-browser, with no account, no watermark, and nothing uploaded**, that it produces **five PNG sizes (16, 32, 180, 192, 512), a multi-size `favicon.ico`, `site.webmanifest`, and an HTML snippet, zipped**. Note that the **`.ico` embeds PNG data rather than classic bitmap entries** (fine for all current browsers/OSes, not guaranteed for very old software), and that it does **not** produce Windows tile files or an SVG favicon, and does **not** crop non-square images.
