Favicon ICO maker

Export one favicon.ico with the browser sizes bundled.

pxicons draws pixel art in the browser and exports a favicon.ico file with 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 images inside the same file.

Open the editor

What goes into the ICO file

The ICO export includes the common favicon sizes browsers still request: 16x16 for tabs, 32x32 for denser displays and shortcuts, and 48x48 for legacy desktop surfaces. One file can serve all three.

How to make the file

  1. Open pxicons and choose a grid size.
  2. Draw the favicon with pencil, fill, eraser, and eyedropper tools.
  3. Use the preview column to check whether the icon reads at 16px.
  4. Click Export ICO to download favicon.ico.

When to use PNG instead

PNG is useful when you want a single explicit size in a <link rel="icon"> tag. ICO is useful when you want the classic root /favicon.ico file with multiple sizes bundled. The pixel favicon maker guide covers the drawing side.
