How do I generate a favicon from an image?

Upload an image file, select the size (16x16 to 512x512), choose 'Single' mode for one favicon or 'Package' for multiple sizes, and the favicon is generated automatically. Download the PNG file.

Can I create a favicon from text?

Yes! Select 'Text' mode, enter your text (usually 1-2 characters), choose text color and background color, set font size, and the favicon is generated with your text on a colored background.

What is a favicon package?

A favicon package includes multiple sizes (16, 32, 48, 64, 180, 192, 512 pixels) for different devices and use cases. This ensures your favicon looks good on all platforms: desktop browsers, mobile devices, Apple touch icons, and Android Chrome icons.
