Favicon Generator builds a complete favicon pack from one logo upload so browser tabs, bookmarks, and home screens stay on brand.
Upload a PNG or JPG (ideally near 512x512), tick sizes from 16x16 through 192x192 including Apple Touch 180, then generate. You get PNG previews, a ZIP, favicon.ico when small sizes are selected, and HTML link tags for your document head.
Generation uses a WordPress AJAX upload so the server can resize, pack the ZIP, and assemble ICO data.
What Favicon Generator does

- Drag-and-drop or file browse for PNG and JPG logos
- Checkbox sizes including 16, 32, 48, 96, 180, and 192

Tips and limits

- Uploads go through AJAX on the host; avoid confidential artwork you cannot store there.
- Prefer PNG or JPG, then hard-refresh after deploy so browsers pick up new icons.

FAQ
Is Favicon Generator free?
Yes. Generate and download packs without an account fee.
Where does my logo go?
The file is uploaded through WordPress admin-ajax for resizing and ZIP creation. Treat uploads as temporary processing on the BeeForge host, not private local-only work.
Will it work on a phone?
Yes for choosing a file and downloading the ZIP, though reviewing tiny 16px previews is easier on a larger screen.
Previews failed or Generate errored. What next?
Confirm PNG/JPG, pick at least one size, and retry with a smaller source if the upload timed out.
Can documentation link to this page?
Yes. Point people to /tools/favicon-generator/.
