What is Favicon Generator?

A favicon generator creates the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screens for your website. This tool lets you create favicons from text or emoji characters with custom colors and shapes, generating all the sizes modern browsers and devices require.

How to Use Favicon Generator

Enter a letter, number, or emoji in the text input field. Choose a background color and text color using the color pickers. Select a shape: circle, square, or rounded square. The tool instantly renders preview icons in all standard favicon sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 180x180, 192x192, 512x512). Copy the HTML link tags to add to your site head section.

How Favicon Generator Works

The tool uses the HTML Canvas API to render your chosen text or emoji onto a colored background shape. It generates previews at all standard favicon sizes (16x16 through 512x512). The HTML code section provides the link tags you need to add to your page head for proper favicon display across all browsers and devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do I need for a favicon?▼

Modern websites need multiple favicon sizes: 16x16 and 32x32 for browser tabs, 48x48 for Windows taskbar, 180x180 for Apple Touch Icon, 192x192 for Android Chrome, and 512x512 for PWA splash screens. This tool generates all of them.

What format should favicons be in?▼

The traditional format is ICO (which can contain multiple sizes), but modern browsers support PNG favicons. SVG favicons are also gaining support. For maximum compatibility, use PNG for individual sizes and include the appropriate link tags in your HTML.

Where do I put favicon files on my website?▼

Place favicon.ico in your website root directory. Other sizes can go in any directory as long as the HTML link tags point to them correctly. Most developers place them in the root or a /icons/ directory.

How do I add a favicon to my HTML?▼

Add link tags in your HTML <head> section. The essential tags are: <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png"> and <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">. This tool generates all the tags you need.
