About Favicon Generator

The Favicon Generator creates a complete favicon set from a letter, word or emoji — pick your colors and shape, preview at real sizes, and download all six standard PNGs: 16, 32 and 48 px favicons, the 180 px Apple touch icon and 192/512 px Android Chrome icons.

A favicon makes your site recognizable in browser tabs, bookmarks and home screens. Text-based icons are a fast, professional-looking placeholder (or permanent choice) when you don't have a logo file ready.

Icons are drawn with the HTML5 canvas on your device — instant, private and watermark-free.

How to Use the Favicon Generator

  1. Type one or two characters, or paste an emoji.
  2. Choose background color, text color and shape (square, rounded or circle).
  3. Check the preview at 16–128 px, then download all sizes with one click.
  4. Add the files to your site root and reference them in your HTML <head>.

Features

  • All six standard sizes including Apple touch and Android icons

Frequently Asked Questions

Which favicon sizes do I actually need?

At minimum 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs, 180×180 for iOS home screens and 192/512 for Android and PWAs. This tool generates all of them.

Do I need a .ico file?

Modern browsers all accept PNG favicons via <link rel="icon">. A legacy favicon.ico is only needed for very old browsers, and most sites skip it today.

Is the Favicon Generator free?

Yes, the Favicon Generator is completely free with no usage limits. No signup, no account and no installation required.

Does the Favicon Generator work on mobile?

Yes. The Favicon Generator is fully responsive and works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and desktops.
