Create a favicon from text or emoji. Download in 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 180x180 sizes. Everything runs in your browser.
A favicon is the small icon that appears in the browser tab next to your page title. It also appears in bookmarks, browser history, and on mobile device home screens when a user saves your site. The name comes from favourite icon because it was originally used to represent bookmarked sites.
A well-designed favicon makes your site look professional and helps users identify your tab when they have many tabs open. A missing favicon causes browsers to make a request for /favicon.ico that returns a 404 error which wastes a network request on every page load.
16x16 and 32x32 are the standard sizes for browser tabs. 48x48 is used by some desktop operating systems for shortcuts. 180x180 is the Apple Touch Icon size used when users add your site to their iOS home screen. For best compatibility provide all four sizes.
Download the PNG files and upload them to your website root. Add the link tags shown above to your HTML head section. The browser will automatically display the favicon in the tab. For .ico format support, rename the 32x32 PNG to favicon.ico.
No. The favicon is generated entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
