Why Use This Tool?
Which favicon sizes do I actually need?
16×16 and 32×32 cover classic browser tabs and bookmarks, 48×48 is used by some Windows shortcuts, 180×180 is the standard Apple touch icon for iOS home screens, 192×192 is used by Android and Chrome for Android home-screen icons, and 512×512 is required for Progressive Web App manifests and app store style icons. This tool generates all six from the same design so you only have to design your icon once.
Can I use an emoji instead of letters?
Yes. Simply paste any emoji into the text field instead of letters — it will render centered inside your chosen shape and color exactly like a letter-based favicon, which is a fast way to get a distinctive, colorful icon without any design skills.
Is each exported size actually resized correctly?
Yes. Each download button redraws your design fresh onto a canvas at the exact target resolution (16px, 32px, 48px, 180px, 192px or 512px) rather than just scaling a single small image, so text and shapes stay crisp at every size instead of getting blurry.
Is this free for commercial websites?
Yes, favicons created here are completely free to use on personal or commercial websites and apps, with no attribution required. The tool runs 100% client-side — nothing you design is uploaded or stored on a server.
