Toucan Favicon Generator

Generate favicons for your website from any image or from text in seconds. Upload a PNG, JPG, SVG, or WebP and get every standard favicon size — from 16x16 for browser tabs to 512x512 for PWA splash screens. Or create a quick text-based favicon with a letter and color. Unlike RealFaviconGenerator or Favicon.io, this tool runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server. No account required, no watermarks, no limits.

What sizes do I need for a favicon?

Modern websites need multiple favicon sizes: 16x16 and 32x32 for browser tabs, 48x48 for Windows taskbar, 180x180 for Apple touch icon (iOS home screen), 192x192 for Android Chrome, and 512x512 for PWA splash screens. This tool generates all of them from a single image.

What image format works best as a favicon source?

PNG with a transparent background works best since favicons are displayed on various backgrounds. A square image of at least 512x512 pixels is ideal. SVG, JPG, and WebP also work — this tool accepts any image format your browser supports. Avoid images with fine text or excessive detail, as they become unreadable at 16x16 pixels.

How do I add a favicon to my website?

Place the generated files in your website's root directory and add the HTML tags this tool provides to your page's head section. The key tags are: a 32x32 icon for browser tabs, a 180x180 apple-touch-icon for iOS, and a link to your site.webmanifest for Android and PWA support. This tool generates ready-to-use code snippets you can copy directly.

Can I create a favicon from text or an emoji?

Yes. Use the Text Favicon tab to type 1-2 characters or an emoji, pick background and text colors, and generate favicons in all sizes. This is great for quick branding — many popular sites use a single letter as their favicon (Google uses "G", Facebook uses "f").
