Question 1

How do I make a favicon from text?

Type 1-3 characters or paste an emoji in the Text field, pick a color, background and font, then click Download PNG. The favicon is generated at multiple sizes and can be exported as PNG, ICO or SVG.

Question 2

What size favicon do I need?

Accepted Answer

Modern browsers use 32x32 or 16x16 for the tab icon. For app icons and touch devices, 192x192 and 512x512 are recommended. SVG favicons scale to any size and are supported in all modern browsers.

Question 3

Can I use an emoji as a favicon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste any emoji in the Text field and it will render using the system emoji font. The PNG export uses the browser's emoji rendering which works in every modern OS.

Question 4

Is my favicon data uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. The favicon is drawn on a HTML canvas inside your browser and downloaded directly. Nothing is sent to any server.
