Favicon from Text

No logo yet? Generate a favicon from a single letter or emoji on a colored background. Pick the letter (usually your brand initial), background color, font (sans-serif / serif / monospace), and shape (square / circle / rounded). Outputs the same complete favicon set (ico + 4 PNGs + apple-touch) as the image-based generator.

When to use this

Use when: launching a new project that doesn't have a logo yet, building a quick MVP / landing page that needs a unique favicon, creating favicons for internal tools / dashboards where a letter is fine, prototyping favicon options before commissioning a real logo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use an emoji as my favicon?

Yes - paste any single emoji as the 'text'. Modern emojis render at the chosen size. Note that emoji style differs across operating systems (Apple emoji vs Microsoft / Twitter / Google) - the generated favicon shows your OS's emoji style at generation time, baked in as an image.

Will my favicon look the same on dark and light browser themes?

Yes - the favicon is a single image regardless of browser theme. To support both themes properly, your background color should look acceptable on both light tabs (white background) and dark tabs (gray/black background). High-contrast colors work best.
