A PNG logo with transparency is the ideal favicon source, because the see-through areas stay see-through in the icon. PNG is a lossless format with full transparency, common for logos, screenshots and web graphics where crisp edges matter. This free png to ico converter does that conversion entirely in your browser, so your file is never uploaded and no signup is needed. ICO output here is one file holding 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions, the standard favicon set, so one download covers browser tabs and shortcuts. The honest limits: Icons must be square, so a wide or tall picture is centre cropped before the three sizes are built. Keep the subject centred in the source.
