A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small icon that appears in the browser tab, bookmarks, and other places to visually identify your website. A good favicon is simple, memorable, and legible at very small sizes.

Why use a Favicon Generator?

• Brand Identity: A custom favicon helps reinforce your brand and makes your site instantly recognizable in a crowded browser tab bar.
• Professionalism: It's a small detail that makes a website feel more complete and polished. Browsers will show a default icon if you don't provide one, which can look unprofessional.
• Simplicity: This tool helps you quickly generate a simple icon from text or an image without needing design software. It's perfect for personal projects, blogs, or getting a placeholder icon up quickly.

How It Works

This tool uses the browser's Canvas API to create your icon. You can specify text, choose a background shape and colors, and select a font. Or, you can upload your own image. The tool then renders this on a canvas and provides previews and a download link for your new favicon.
