Favicon Generator
Turn any image or emoji into a complete favicon set — free and instant.
What is it?
Favicon Generator is a free browser-based tool that creates all the favicon and app icon sizes your website needs from a single source image or a text/emoji input. Upload your logo, pick a background color, and the tool generates previews for every standard size: 16×16 (browser tab), 32×32 (desktop bookmark), 48×48 (Windows taskbar), 96×96 (Google TV), and 180×180 (Apple Touch Icon). Download each size individually or grab all of them at once. Everything runs client-side using the Canvas API — no files are uploaded anywhere.
How to use it
- Upload your source image (PNG, SVG, JPEG) or switch to "Text/Emoji" mode to type a character.
- If using text, choose a background color and font size.
- Preview all generated sizes — 16px, 32px, 48px, 96px, and 180px — in the grid.
- Click any individual size to download it as a PNG.
- Click "Download All" to save a ZIP file containing every size at once.
Why use this tool
A properly configured favicon set improves your website's professionalism and brand recognition across browsers, bookmarks, and mobile home screens. Manually resizing icons to every required dimension is tedious — this tool does it all automatically in your browser in under a second. The generated icons are pixel-perfect at each size with proper anti-aliasing. Perfect for web developers, designers, and anyone who just wants a matching browser tab icon without spinning up Photoshop.
Frequently asked questions
What sizes does the tool generate?
It generates PNG files at 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 96×96, and 180×180 pixels, covering browser tabs, bookmarks, taskbar icons, and Apple Touch Icons.
Can I generate a favicon from text or an emoji?
Yes. Switch to "Text" mode, type your character (a letter, number, or emoji), choose a background color, and the tool renders it cleanly at every size.
Does the tool generate an actual .ico file?
The tool generates PNG files, which are fully supported by all modern browsers. For legacy IE support, rename the 16x16 PNG to favicon.ico.
What is the Apple Touch Icon (180×180)?
It is the icon displayed when a user adds your website to their iPhone or iPad home screen. Safari uses the 180×180 size for the latest devices.
Will my image be sent to a server?
No. All resizing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.
