Favicon Generator

A favicon is an essential element for any modern website. Instead of just a single legacy 16x16 icon file, today's standard requires a comprehensive set: a scalable favicon.svg for modern browsers, an apple-touch-icon.png for iOS devices, 192px/512px icons for Android/PWAs, and a fallback favicon.ico.

This Favicon Generator allows you to instantly create this complete modern set from any image, text, or emoji. All image processing and file generation are executed safely and entirely within your browser—no data is uploaded to our servers.

Favicon

A small icon associated with a particular website or web page. It helps users easily identify your site in a crowded browser tab bar or bookmark list.

.ico format

The traditional image format used for favicons. Its main advantage is the ability to contain multiple resolutions (e.g., 16x16, 32x32) within a single file.

Apple Touch Icon

An icon that appears when a user adds your website to their iOS (iPhone/iPad) home screen. The standard size is a 180x180 PNG image.

SVG Favicon

A scalable vector-based icon. It remains perfectly sharp at any size and can utilize embedded CSS to dynamically change colors depending on whether the user's system is in dark mode or light mode.

Web App Manifest

A JSON file that provides information about a web application, telling the browser how it should behave when installed on the user's desktop or mobile device (PWA). It defines the app's name, theme colors, and icons.

Q.Are uploaded images saved on a server?

No, they are not saved. All processing and favicon generation are done entirely locally in your browser, so your data is never sent to any external server.

Q.Which favicon sizes are recommended today?

The current best practice is to provide a favicon.ico for legacy browsers, favicon.svg for modern browsers, an apple-touch-icon.png (180px) for iOS, and 192px/512px icons for Android/PWA.

Q.Can I make the background transparent?

Yes. If your original image is a transparent PNG or SVG, check 'Transparent Background'. You can also create transparent favicons from text or emoji.

Q.What does the dark mode SVG feature do?

It automatically switches the favicon's background or design when the user's OS/browser is set to dark mode by embedding specific CSS media queries inside the SVG file.

Q.Are favicons generated from text or emojis free for commercial use?

Yes, the favicons generated here are completely free for commercial use. However, note that system-native emojis render differently depending on the user's operating system fonts.
