Favicon from Text

Generate favicons from text or initials

What is the Favicon from Text?

The favicon from text works like this: it renders letter-based favicons (PNG and ICO sizes) from a letter, background and foreground color you choose. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

How to use the Favicon from Text

1. Select or drop your image.
2. Adjust the available settings while watching the preview.
3. Check dimensions, quality and format before exporting.
4. Download the result and keep the original when quality matters.

Features

• Runs on your device via the Canvas and WebAssembly APIs
• Batch-friendly when you have several files

Common mistakes to avoid

Frequently asked questions

Which sizes does a site actually need?

favicon.ico (16+32) for tabs plus a 180px apple-touch-icon and 192/512 for manifest - this tool emits all of them.

What sizes does a letter favicon generate?

The full modern set - PNG icons from 16px up to 512px plus a multi-size ICO bundle, all from one letter with your chosen background and foreground colours.

Which letter should I use?

The first letter of your brand, on a colour that contrasts strongly with it - at 16px the only things that survive are one bold letter and high contrast.
