Favicon generator that runs offline
Most favicon generators are upload-and-wait web forms. PixelDev does it locally, so unreleased logos and client artwork never touch someone else's server.
Why do it in PixelDev?
A fast, private desktop toolkit — not another website that uploads your files.
Nothing is uploaded
The image is processed on your machine. That matters when the logo belongs to a client or an unannounced product.
Fit or fill
Pad a non-square image to a square, or crop it to fill — chosen per export rather than forced on you.
No account, no queue
Open the app and export. There is no upload step, no processing queue, and no rate limit.
How to favicon generator offline
4 steps, entirely on your PC.
Download PixelDev free and install it on Windows.
Open the Favicon Generator and drop in your source image.
Choose fit or fill for non-square artwork.
Export. The files are written straight to your chosen folder.
Frequently asked questions
Is the favicon generator free?
Yes, it is one of eight tools included on the free plan, alongside the Icon Factory, Placeholder Image, Image Info, Colour Extractor, Colour Picker, SVG Optimizer and Base64 converter.
Can I generate a full multi-platform icon set?
The basic favicon export is free. Full platform bundles — Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Store and Linux packaged in one ZIP — are part of the one-time $11.99 upgrade.
What source image should I use?
A square image at least 512 pixels gives the best result. Non-square artwork can be padded or cropped inside the app.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. Everything runs locally on Windows after install.
Is there a watermark?
No. Exports are clean on the free plan.
