Need to type any character, emoji, or initials to generate a favicon instantly — download as png or ico quickly? Favicon from Text handles it right in your browser with no uploads, no accounts, and no watermarks. It supports common image formats like JPEG, PNG, and WebP, and delivers results instantly using client-side processing. Your files stay on your device at all times.
A favicon (favorite icon) is the small icon associated with a website. It appears in: the browser tab (16–32px), the address bar (some browsers), browser bookmarks and history, Windows/Mac taskbar when pinned, iOS/Android home screen when added as a bookmark, and the search results page in some search engines. Place favicon.ico in your site's root directory for automatic browser detection.
For modern browsers, a single SVG favicon covers all sizes. However, for maximum compatibility — including older browsers, iOS Safari, and Windows shortcuts — you should provide: favicon.ico (multi-size ICO containing 16, 32, 48px), apple-touch-icon.png (180×180 for iOS), and a web app manifest icon (192×512px for Android). This text-favicon tool generates the ICO and 64px PNG to cover the basics.
Yes — modern browsers support inline SVG favicons, which can contain an emoji directly: <link rel="icon" href="data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 100 100'><text y='.9em' font-size='90'>⭐</text></svg>">. However, this SVG method doesn't work on Safari or when users save a bookmark to their home screen. This tool generates a proper rasterized PNG/ICO for the widest compatibility.
