  • Font Size: Adjust from 16px to 64px
  • Font Family: Choose from Inter, Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Times New Roman, or Courier New

Tip: Use 2-3 character abbreviations for the best visual balance. Longer text may appear smaller to fit within the icon.

Emoji Icons

Supported: Any Unicode emoji. Popular choices include 🚀 (tech/startup), 💡 (ideas), ⭐ (favorites), ⚡ (power/speed), 🎯 (goals/targets), and 🔒 (security).

Solid Colors

Enable gradient for more visually appealing icons.

  • Gradient Start/End: Define two colors for the gradient
  • Direction: Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or radial

Border Radius

For rounded squares, adjust the border radius from 0px to 32px for varying levels of roundness.

Padding

Add padding (0-24px) to create space between the content and the container edge. This is useful for preventing text or shapes from touching the icon borders.

Implementation Guide

HTML Implementation

Basic Setup

Add these meta tags to your HTML head section:

<!-- Standard Favicon -->
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">

<!-- iOS / Apple Touch Icon -->
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">

<!-- Android / PWA -->
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="192x192" href="/android-chrome-192x192.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="512x512" href="/android-chrome-512x512.png">

<!-- Microsoft -->
<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="/mstile-150x150.png">

Recommended File Names

When using the downloaded icons, name them according to these conventions for maximum browser compatibility:

favicon-16x16.png16×16 browser tab
favicon-32x32.png32×32 browser tab
apple-touch-icon.png180×180 iOS home screen
android-chrome-192x192.png192×192 Android PWA
android-chrome-512x512.png512×512 Android PWA / Play Store

Important Note

The generated icons are PNG format. For modern browsers, you can also generate SVG favicons, but this tool focuses on PNG compatibility with older browsers and native app requirements.

Best Practices

Tips for Professional Icons
1

Keep it Simple

Use 1-3 characters for text icons. Complex designs become unreadable at small sizes.

2

Use High Contrast

Ensure your text/foreground color contrasts well with the background for visibility at 16×16 pixels.

3

Test at Multiple Sizes

Preview your icon at all sizes. Details that look good at 512×512 may be invisible at 16×16.

4

Consider Dark Mode

If your icon uses light colors, test how it appears on dark backgrounds. You may want to create a dark mode variant.

5

Use Brand Colors

Incorporate your brand's color palette for consistent recognition across touch points.
