What you can do with X-Icon Editor
- Draw freehand with brush and pencil tools, add text, fill shapes, or import an existing image and crop it.
- Work on four icon resolutions at once — 64x64, 32x32, 24x24 and 16x16 — packed into a single .ICO file.
- Import .PNG, .JPG, .BMP, .GIF and .ICO files to start from an existing image.
- Preview exactly how your icon will look in a browser tab, a bookmarks bar, a taskbar and more, before you download it.

Why use a dedicated favicon editor?
General-purpose image editors are built for photos and full-page graphics, not for a 16-pixel square that needs to stay
legible in a browser tab. X-Icon Editor is scoped to exactly that problem: it works on all four favicon resolutions at
once, so you see immediately how a design holds up once shrunk down, instead of designing at full size and only finding
out it breaks at 16x16 after exporting.
Everything runs client-side in your browser — drawing, importing and exporting all happen locally, nothing is
uploaded to a server, and the finished .ICO file downloads directly to your device. See our
guide to favicon formats for when you also need PNG or SVG versions
alongside the .ico, and what Google actually requires for a favicon to
show up in search results.
