Create favicons from text, emoji or an uploaded image in all standard sizes — 16×16 to 512×512.
A favicon is the small icon that appears in the browser tab, the bookmarks bar and the home screen shortcut. Modern browsers and operating systems expect it in several sizes: 16×16 for the tab, 32×32 for the bookmark, 48×48 for Windows taskbar pins, 180×180 for the Apple touch icon, and 192 and 512 for the Android PWA manifest. Serving a single file that the browser scales down used to be enough; today it produces blurry results on high-density screens, and Apple devices ignore the favicon entirely if the touch icon is missing.
This generator renders the six standard sizes from a single source — a text character, an emoji or an uploaded image — onto canvas elements with the background colour you choose. The text is centred and scaled to fill roughly 70% of the square, which keeps it legible even at 16 pixels. If you upload an image, it is fitted inside the square preserving its aspect ratio. Every canvas is a ready-to-save PNG with no metadata and no dependencies.
Right-click each one and save it, then reference it in your HTML head: a 32×32 `favicon.ico` for legacy browsers, a `` for modern ones, a `` for iOS, and a web app manifest pointing at the 192 and 512 sizes. The page generates the files but does not bundle them — the integration step is yours, and it depends on the framework. Everything runs in your browser: no upload, no account, no watermark.
16×16 (tab), 32×32 (bookmark/taskbar), 48×48 (Windows), 180×180 (Apple touch icon), 192×192 and 512×512 (Android PWA manifest). This tool generates all six.
Yes — type it in the text field. The emoji is rendered in the system font onto a solid background, so it will look slightly different on each operating system.
Some emoji are wider than a square. The generator scales to fit, but complex multi-person or flag emoji may not render well at 16 pixels.
Only for Internet Explorer and very old browsers. Modern browsers accept PNG via a tag. If you need ICO, use an ICO converter on the 32×32 PNG.
No. The canvases render locally and the PNGs are saved from the canvas element. Nothing is uploaded.
