How It Works
Enter up to two characters (letters, numbers, or emoji) and choose background and text colors. The tool generates a 64x64 pixel favicon on an HTML canvas and lets you download it as a PNG file ready to use as your website icon.
When to Use It
- Quick branding — create a simple text-based favicon in seconds without needing a graphic design tool.
- Side projects and MVPs — get a recognizable browser tab icon without hiring a designer.
- Prototyping — generate placeholder favicons for client presentations or wireframes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What file format is generated?
The download is a PNG file. Most modern browsers accept PNG favicons. For legacy IE support, convert the PNG to ICO format using an online converter.
Can I use emoji as favicon text?
Yes. Enter any emoji character and it will be rendered on the canvas. Results vary by operating system since emoji fonts differ across platforms.
What size should a favicon be?
This tool generates 64x64 pixels, which is a good universal size. Browsers automatically scale it down for tab display (16x16 or 32x32).
