Favicon Generator
The Favicon Generator creates favicon icons for websites from text, emoji, or uploaded images. A favicon (favorite icon) is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and home screen shortcuts. This generator creates favicons in multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 180x180 for Apple, 192x192 and 512x512 for Android) and formats (ICO, PNG, SVG). It also generates the HTML meta tags needed to add the favicon to your website.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a favicon?
A favicon is a small icon associated with a website, displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and home screen shortcuts. It helps users identify your site quickly. Favicons improve brand recognition and user experience.
What sizes do I need?
For basic use, a 32x32 ICO file is sufficient. For full compatibility: 16x16 and 32x32 for browsers, 180x180 for Apple devices, 192x192 and 512x512 for Android/PWA. The generator creates all sizes automatically.
Can I create a favicon from text?
Yes. Enter a letter or short text, choose a font and color, and the generator creates a favicon from the text. This is useful for sites that do not have a logo yet or for simple branding.
Can I create a favicon from an emoji?
Yes. Enter an emoji and the generator creates a favicon from it. This is a quick way to create a visually appealing favicon without design skills. Emoji favicons work well for casual or fun websites.
How do I add a favicon to my website?
Upload the favicon files to your website root directory, then add the HTML meta tags (provided by the generator) to the head section of your HTML. The tags include link rel=icon for the favicon and link rel=apple-touch-icon for Apple devices.
