About the favicon generator
A favicon generator turns a letter, emoji or short text into the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and search results. This one renders on an HTML canvas in your browser and exports every size you need (16–512px) plus the exact `<link>` tags to paste into your site `<head>` — no design tool, no account, no upload.
Frequently asked questions
Is this tool free?
Yes — completely free, no signup, no watermark and no limits. Startup OG funds the site through its directory and partner program, not paywalled tools.
Is my file or data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your file or text never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.
What favicon sizes do I need?
At minimum 16×16 and 32×32 for browsers and 180×180 for the Apple touch icon. 512×512 is useful for PWA manifests. This tool exports all of them.
Why is my favicon not updating?
Browsers cache favicons aggressively. Hard-refresh, append a `?v=2` query to the icon URL, or clear the site cache to force the new one.
