🖼️ What is the Favicon Generator?

This tool allows you to quickly generate favicon files in multiple sizes from a single PNG or JPEG image. Favicons are the small icons you see in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile homescreens.

Instead of manually resizing images, this tool creates all the required versions automatically, ensuring your site looks professional across devices.

🚀 How to Use

Upload a .png or .jpg file, and this tool will generate multiple favicon sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 192x192, 512x512).

You’ll get a downloadable ZIP file containing all icons plus an HTML snippet you can include in your site’s <head>.

💡 Why Use This Tool?

Proper favicons improve branding and user experience. Different platforms (browsers, Android, iOS, desktop apps) expect different favicon sizes. This generator ensures you have them all.

✅ Looks sharp in browser tabs
✅ Supports high-DPI displays
✅ Ready for mobile home screen icons
✅ Includes HTML for easy integration

📘 Favicon Basics

16x16: Standard browser tab icon
32x32 / 48x48: High-resolution desktop favicons
192x192: Android and Chrome app icons
512x512: Required for PWA (Progressive Web Apps)

Providing multiple sizes ensures browsers pick the most optimized favicon automatically.

    );
    System.out.println(htmlSnippet);
