Open Favicon maker →What is the favicon maker?
A free, private favicon maker that builds a complete browser-icon set from a letter, an emoji or your own logo image — entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded. It exports a single zip containing a multi-resolution favicon.ico, PNGs from 16px to 512px, an apple-touch-icon, Android Chrome icons, Windows tiles, a site.webmanifest, browserconfig.xml and a ready-to-paste HTML snippet.
How to use Favicon maker
- Pick a source — Choose Text mode to type a letter or emoji, or Image mode to drop in your logo. Nothing leaves your device.
- Style the icon — Pick a shape (including a Squircle for the iOS app-icon look), set the corner radius, and adjust the foreground and background colours.
- Fine-tune the look — Use the saturation, brightness and contrast sliders to balance the icon against light and dark backgrounds in the live preview.
- Download what you need — Open the Download menu at the top and pick the full package as a zip, a standalone favicon.ico, or a single PNG size — then paste the included HTML snippet into your site's <head>.
Frequently asked questions
What's inside the exported zip?
A multi-resolution favicon.ico (16/32/48), PNGs from 16px to 512px, an apple-touch-icon, Android Chrome icons, Windows tiles, a site.webmanifest, a browserconfig.xml and a ready-to-paste HTML snippet.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Both text and image favicons are rendered on your device, so your logo and any text you enter never leave your browser.
Can I make a favicon from an emoji?
Yes. In Text mode you can type a single emoji instead of a letter, and it's rasterised into every icon size for you.
How do I add the favicon to my site?
Unzip the package into your site root and paste the included HTML snippet into the page <head>. It links every icon, the manifest and the browserconfig file.
What's the Squircle shape for?
The Squircle matches the rounded-superellipse look of modern iOS app icons, so your favicon and home-screen icon feel consistent.
Can I download just one size?
Yes. The Download menu at the top lists the full package, a standalone multi-resolution favicon.ico, and single PNGs at 16, 32, 48, 180 (Apple touch) and 512 pixels, so you can grab exactly the file you need.
Tips
- Use a single bold letter or emoji on a high-contrast background so the icon stays legible at 16px.
- Pick the Squircle shape if you want the icon to match the iOS home-screen app-icon style.
- Test the preview against both light and dark backgrounds before exporting.
- Drop the whole zip into your site root so the manifest and browserconfig paths in the snippet resolve correctly.
- Tick Transparent if you want the icon to sit on the browser tab with no background block behind it.
