Favicon Generator from Text, Letters, or Emoji
A text favicon is a quick way to give a side project, internal app, prototype, or placeholder website a recognizable icon before a full logo exists.
Use the free Favicon GeneratorPick short text
One or two letters usually look best at small icon sizes. Initials, product abbreviations, and single emoji are easier to recognize than long words.
Use strong contrast
Favicons are tiny, so contrast matters more than subtle branding. Choose a clear foreground color and a background that stays readable at 16 pixels.
Export a larger PNG first
A 512 pixel PNG gives you a clean source for browser icons, app previews, and later conversion into ICO if needed.
