About the Favicon Generator
The favicon generator turns a letter, a few characters, or an emoji into a ready-to-use site icon. Pick your background and text colors and a shape (square, rounded, or circle), and see live 96, 32, and 16 pixel previews so you know exactly how it will look in a browser tab.
Use it when you need a quick favicon without opening a graphics editor, whether for a side project, prototype, or internal tool. Download a PNG at any size from 32 to 512 pixels, or an SVG, or use the copy-HTML button to get a self-contained inline SVG data-URI link tag you can paste straight into your page with no separate file to host. Everything is generated locally in your browser.
How to use it
- Enter a letter, a few characters, or an emoji for the icon.
- Choose the background color, text color, and shape (square, rounded, or circle).
- Check the live 96, 32, and 16 pixel previews.
- Download a PNG (32 to 512px) or SVG, or click copy-HTML for an inline link tag.
- Paste the downloaded file or copied tag into your site's head.
Examples
- Type the letter K on a blue circle to make a simple brand-initial favicon.
- Use a rocket emoji on a dark rounded square for a launch or startup project.
- Click copy-HTML to get a link rel=icon tag with an inline SVG data URI, so no favicon file needs hosting.
- Download a 512px PNG to use as a larger app or touch icon source.
Frequently asked questions
What can I use as the favicon content?
You can use letters, a few characters, or a single emoji, then customize the background color, text color, and shape.
What formats can I download?
You can download a PNG at sizes from 32 to 512 pixels, or an SVG. You can also copy an inline SVG data-URI HTML tag.
How does the copy-HTML option work?
It emits a self-contained link rel=icon tag with the icon embedded as an inline SVG data URI, so you can paste it into your head with no separate favicon file to upload.
Is my icon uploaded anywhere?
No. The favicon is rendered and exported entirely in your browser, so nothing you create is sent to a server.
What is the difference between the PNG and the inline SVG tag?
The PNG is a downloadable image file you host yourself, while the inline SVG data-URI tag embeds the icon directly in your HTML with no file to host.
Can I preview how it looks at real tab sizes?
Yes. It shows live 96, 32, and 16 pixel previews so you can judge legibility at the actual sizes browsers use.
