What is Favicon Generator?

Generate a complete favicon bundle from text, an emoji, or your own image - without opening Figma or installing anything. Type up to three letters, pick an emoji, or upload an image; choose foreground and background colours, shape (square, rounded, or circle), and a font weight that reads well even at 16×16 pixels. Download all the required PNG sizes (16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 180, 192, 512) in one click and copy the matching link snippet for your HTML head. Useful for indie makers, side-projects, and quick agency mockups.

FAQ

Favicon Generator — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you start.

Which favicon sizes do I actually need?

At minimum: 16×16 (browser tab), 32×32 (high-DPI tabs), 180×180 (Apple touch icon), 192×192 and 512×512 (Android / PWA manifest). The tool emits all of these plus 48, 64, and 128 for completeness.

Can I use an emoji as my favicon?

Yes - switch to the Emoji tab and pick any emoji. It's rendered to canvas at every size, so you get crisp PNGs ready to upload to your /public folder.

Why a square / rounded / circle background?

Modern operating systems (iOS, Android) display favicons inside their own shape masks. Picking 'rounded' or 'circle' here lets you preview how the icon will look on a home screen versus a browser tab.

Where do I install the favicon files?

Put each PNG into your site's /public (or web root) folder, then paste the generated <link> tags into your <head>. The tool gives you the exact snippet to copy.

More about Favicon Generator

One image, every favicon size browsers expect

A favicon is a small detail that makes a site feel finished - and getting it wrong (a blurry 16px icon, a missing Apple touch icon) is surprisingly common. This generator takes a single image or piece of text and outputs the full set of sizes that browsers, bookmarks, and mobile home screens expect. Drop the files into your project and your site looks intentional in every tab and on every device.
