When people reach for this tool
Give a new project a real browser tab icon
A single letter or emoji in a brand colour is enough to stop a new site looking unfinished.
Make one tab recognisable at a glance
A short, high-contrast mark is far easier to identify in a crowded tab bar than a generic logo.
Replace a favicon you lost or never had
Generate a matching mark in seconds instead of searching your files for the original asset.
Practical tips
- A single letter or one emoji reads better than a word — the icon is displayed at roughly 16 pixels.
- Pick a background with enough contrast against the mark, since browsers render it on both light and dark tab strips.
What you get
- Live results while you type

Favicon Generator — FAQ
Can I use any emoji?
Yes, any glyph your browser renders. Rasterized onto a canvas and exported as PNG.
Where do I put the file?
Save it next to your HTML as favicon.png and reference it with a link tag in the head of every page.
What size should a favicon be?
A square image works everywhere. 64 by 64 pixels is a good default, and a larger square simply gets scaled down by the browser.
