Can I make a favicon from text?▼
Yes! Enter a single letter or emoji, choose colors and font, and generate favicons in all required sizes. This is perfect for quick branding or placeholder icons.
Is my image uploaded to a server?▼
No. All favicon generation happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images and text never leave your device.

PNG is the most widely supported format for modern favicons. ICO format is legacy but still works. This tool generates PNG favicons which work in all modern browsers.
