About Favicon Generator
The Favicon Generator creates browser favicons directly in your browser using the Canvas API. No tools to install, no uploads to a server. Everything runs client-side for instant results and complete privacy.
Generate from text or emoji with full customization — choose from color presets, toggle transparent backgrounds, pick between square, rounded, or circular shapes, and adjust font size. Or upload an existing image and control how it fits with cover/contain modes, padding, and shape clipping.
Preview your favicon on both light and dark backgrounds side by side, then download individual PNG files or grab all sizes at once as a ZIP. A ready-to-use HTML snippet is provided so you can add favicons to your website in seconds.
