A favicon generator that turns any emoji into a favicon — no image to draw, no upload. Type an emoji (or pick one), see it instantly in the square preview, and use it two ways. (1) The no-file one-liner — it builds a <link rel="icon" href="data:image/svg+xml,…"> that embeds the emoji as an inline SVG, so without creating or hosting any image file you can paste this single line into your HTML <head> and the emoji shows up in the browser tab (perfect for prototypes, dev, and small sites). (2) Real files — download a ZIP containing PNGs at every common size (16/32/48/180/192/512px), a favicon.ico bundling 16/32/48, a site.webmanifest, and a ready-to-paste <head> snippet (for older browsers or production where you want files that always work). Choose a transparent or solid background, and optionally round the corners. The emoji is drawn with your device's emoji font, so the exact look varies a little by OS. Combined emoji — skin tones, ZWJ sequences like family, flags — are supported: the first grapheme you enter is treated as one emoji. The input, the SVG generation, and the PNG/ICO export all run entirely in your browser; nothing is ever uploaded, stored, or sent to a server. Need a favicon from your own image instead? Use the image favicon generator. Need a full iOS/Android app icon set? Head to the app icon generator.
How to use
- Type the emoji you want in the box, or pick one from the row. Choose a background (transparent / color) and rounded corners if you like.
- To skip files entirely, copy the shown <link rel="icon" href="data:image/svg+xml,…"> line and paste it into your HTML <head>.
- Need real files? Press "Download ZIP" to get PNGs at every size plus favicon.ico, a manifest and a <head> snippet, and drop them into your site root.
FAQ
Is the emoji I enter or the image I generate uploaded anywhere?
No. The input, the SVG assembly and the PNG/ICO export all happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to a server — the tool is fully local.
What is the "no-file one-liner", and does it really work without an image?
It's a <link rel="icon"> whose href is a data-URI with the emoji embedded directly as SVG. There's no image file to create or host — paste this single line into your HTML <head> and the emoji appears in the tab. It works in modern browsers. For maximum compatibility or older environments, use the PNG/.ico files from the ZIP instead.
Can it also make a favicon.ico and PNGs?
Yes. "Download ZIP" gives you PNGs at 16/32/48/180/192/512px, a favicon.ico bundling 16/32/48, a site.webmanifest and a ready-to-paste <head> snippet, all in one ZIP. The filenames follow the usual conventions, so dropping them into your site root just works.
Will the emoji look the same on every device?
The SVG version (the one-liner) is rendered with the viewer's emoji font, so the same emoji can look slightly different across OSes (Windows / Mac / Android). The PNG/.ico version freezes the look of your device's emoji font at export time. If you need the exact same artwork everywhere, use the PNG/.ico files.
Can I use combined emoji like skin tones or flags?
Yes. Skin-tone variants, ZWJ sequences (e.g. family) and flags are handled — the first grapheme you enter is treated as a single emoji and drawn as one. The final appearance still depends on what your device's emoji font supports.
