Favicon Generator

What is a Favicon Generator?

A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and history next to your site's title. It is a key part of a site's identity and helps users find your tab among many. A favicon generator lets you create one quickly without opening a design program.

Our Favicon Generator builds a simple, recognizable favicon from a single letter or emoji. Choose the background and text colors and a shape — square, rounded, or circle — and the tool renders the icon on a canvas and lets you download crisp PNGs at every standard size.

How to Create a Favicon

• Enter a letter, initials, or an emoji (up to two characters)
• Choose the background and text colors
• Pick a shape: square, rounded, or circle
• Preview the icon at real tab sizes (16, 32, and 64 pixels)
• Download the PNG at 16, 32, 64, or 180 pixels for web and mobile

Favicon Sizes Explained

Browsers and devices use several favicon sizes. 16×16 is the classic tab icon, 32×32 is used for higher-density displays and the taskbar, 64×64 covers high-resolution contexts, and 180×180 is the Apple touch icon shown when users add your site to an iOS home screen.

Providing multiple sizes ensures your icon looks sharp everywhere rather than being scaled and blurred. Reference each downloaded PNG with a link tag in your HTML head, using the appropriate rel and sizes attributes.

Privacy

Every favicon is rendered locally in your browser using the canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so your icons are generated entirely on your own device.
