Create favicons from text, emoji, logos or uploaded images. Export browser, Apple touch and PWA-ready PNG sizes.
The Favicon Generator lets you build browser icons from text, emoji, logos or uploaded artwork directly in the browser. You can fine-tune the background, shape, padding and image fit, preview tiny favicon sizes before downloading, and export every common PNG size used by browsers, Apple touch icons and PWAs.
Yes. Switch to image mode or simply upload a file and the tool will use your image as the favicon source. You can then adjust padding, scaling and fit mode to keep the important part of the artwork visible at small icon sizes.
For solid coverage, export at least 16x16, 32x32, 180x180 and 192x192. The first two handle browser tabs and bookmarks, 180x180 is the Apple touch icon, and 192x192 helps with Android and PWA installation prompts. Keeping a 512x512 master is also useful for manifest icons and future reuse.
No. Uploads are handled entirely in your browser using the FileReader and Canvas APIs. Your image never leaves the page, and the generated PNGs are created locally before download.
The best favicons keep shapes bold, detail minimal and contrast high. If you upload a complex image or photograph, use extra padding and a solid background so the central subject remains readable at 16x16 and 32x32.
