What does this tool do?
Favicon Generator turns an emoji, a letter or an uploaded image into your browser tab icon and exports 16, 32, 48, 64, 180, 192 and 512 px PNGs in one go. Pick a background/text color and a square, rounded or circle shape, then copy the ready-made <link rel="icon"> and apple-touch-icon HTML snippet for your site. It all runs on canvas in your browser — your image is never uploaded.

What it solves
A favicon represents your brand in the browser tab, in bookmarks and on phone home-screen shortcuts. With this tool you go from an emoji or a logo letter to a polished icon in seconds, no design software required. Each PNG is rendered at its true resolution so every size stays crisp.
Which size is for what?
16 and 32 px are the classic browser tab and address-bar icons; 180 px is the iOS apple-touch-icon, while 192 and 512 px are the Android and PWA manifest icons. 48 and 64 px add clarity for Windows shortcuts and high-DPI screens. Downloading all of these and placing them at your site root covers every modern platform.
Frequently asked questions
Which favicon sizes do I need?
For most sites 16, 32, 180 (Apple) plus 192 and 512 (Android/PWA) are enough. This tool produces them all in one click, so you never have to worry about a missing size.
Do I need an .ico file?
Every modern browser supports PNG favicons, so a separate .ico file is no longer required. Unless you must support very old browsers, you can reference the PNG link tags directly.
