When to Use the Favicon Generator

Tips

  • Single letters or emoji work best — they stay legible at 16x16 pixels.
  • Choose a background colour that matches your brand for consistency.
  • Test the 16x16 version in a browser tab to make sure it is recognisable at that tiny size.
  • Bold, simple shapes read better than detailed characters at favicon scale.
