Privacy details

Favicon generator processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

Using the favicon generator

Contain mode keeps your whole image and fills unused space with the chosen color. Cover mode crops the center to fill the square. Download the PNG and use it as an image/png icon in your page’s head.

A worked example

At 32 pixels, the example becomes a 32 × 32 PNG favicon. Contain preserves the whole wide image; cover fills the square.

Before you use the result

Exports PNG, not an ICO bundle. Browser tabs can display PNG icons, but platforms may require additional sizes or an ICO file. Tiny details become difficult to see at small sizes.
