Favicon Generator — Create App Icons from Text, Emoji, or Images
Generate a complete, multi-format favicon package from text, an emoji, or an uploaded image with this free online favicon generator. Get every size modern platforms expect — classic favicon.ico sizes, Apple touch icons, and Android/PWA icons — with live mockups showing exactly how your icon looks in a browser tab and on a phone homescreen.
Favicons are small but disproportionately important: they anchor your brand in crowded tab bars, bookmarks, and search results. Producing all the required sizes and the web manifest by hand is tedious; this tool renders the full set in one pass, whether you start from a logo image, a letter, or a single emoji.

Frequently Asked Questions
What favicon sizes do I need in 2026?
A practical modern set: a 32×32 favicon (ICO or PNG), an SVG icon if available, a 180×180 apple-touch-icon, and 192×192 + 512×512 PNGs referenced in your web manifest for Android and PWA installs. This generator produces all of them.
Can I use an emoji as my favicon?
Yes — pick any emoji and the tool renders it into every required icon size. Emoji favicons are a fast, memorable option for side projects and personal sites.
How do I add the favicon to my website?
Place the generated files in your site root and add the link tags to your HTML head: the icon links, the apple-touch-icon link, and a manifest link. Browsers pick the best size automatically.
Why isn't my new favicon showing up?
Favicons are cached aggressively. Hard-refresh, or bump the icon URL with a query string (favicon.ico?v=2). Verify the file paths return 200 and the link tags are inside the head element.
