How to Use Favicon Generator

  1. 1

    Start with text or emoji

    Enter your text (e.g., 'RF' for your initials) or paste an emoji. The tool accepts single characters or short strings (1-2 chars recommended for clarity at small sizes).

  2. 2

    Customize appearance

    Adjust the background color, text color, and font weight. For brand consistency, use colors from your design system. Dark backgrounds with light text (or vice versa) work best at small sizes.

  3. 3

    Generate all standard sizes

    Download the favicon bundle which includes 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 180x180, and 192x192 variants. Also includes the favicon.ico file for browser tabs and an Apple touch icon for mobile home screens.

  4. 4

    Deploy to your site

    Place files in your public root and add the appropriate meta tags: <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico"> in the <head> section. Include apple-touch-icon for iOS devices.

  5. 5

    Cache busting tip

    Add a version query parameter like href="/favicon.ico?v=2" if you update your favicon. This forces browsers to fetch the new version instead of serving the cached old one.
