Create favicon sets from images, text, or emoji. Generate multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64) and download as ZIP.
The AfroTools Favicon Generator creates website icons from images, text, or emoji in seconds. Upload an existing logo or image, type a letter or word, or pick an emoji to create a complete favicon set in all standard sizes — 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 64x64 pixels as PNG files, plus the traditional ICO format. Download everything as a single ZIP file ready to drop into your website. The text mode lets you choose a background colour, font, and letter to create a clean typographic favicon even if you do not have a logo yet. The emoji mode is perfect for quick project favicons or personal sites. For the image mode, the tool automatically resizes and crops your upload to each required dimension while maintaining clarity at small sizes. Favicons are critical for browser tab recognition, bookmark displays, and mobile home screen icons. Without one, your site looks unfinished and loses brand recognition. This tool is designed for web developers, bloggers, small business owners, and anyone launching a website who needs a professional favicon without opening Photoshop or paying a designer.
The download includes PNG files at 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 64x64 pixels, plus an ICO file that bundles all sizes together. This covers all major browser and platform requirements.
PNG favicons are used by modern browsers and support transparency. ICO is the legacy format that bundles multiple sizes into a single file and is required for older browsers and certain platforms like Windows.
Yes. Switch to text mode, enter a letter or short text, choose your background and text colours, and the tool generates a clean typographic favicon ready for download.
Place the generated favicon files in your website's root directory, then add a link tag in your HTML head: <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-32x32.png">. The ICO file can be referenced with <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico">.
Yes. If you upload a PNG image with a transparent background, the transparency is preserved in the generated favicon files. This works in image mode for both PNG and ICO outputs.
