Free Text to Favicon Generator

Create professional, text-based favicons for your website instantly. Our Text to Favicon Generator allows you to convert any letter, number, or character into a high-quality .ico or .png icon. With access to the complete Google Fonts library, you can match your favicon perfectly to your brand's typography without opening Photoshop.

Why use a Text Favicon?

  • Brand Consistency: Use the exact same font as your logo or website headers.
  • Readability: A single bold letter is often more recognizable at small sizes (16x16 pixels) than a complex logo.
  • Simplicity: Minimalist designs are trending. A clean, colored box with a white letter is timeless.

Powerful Customization

  • Google Fonts Integration: Choose from 1000+ font families including Inter, Roboto, Lato, Montserrat, and Open Sans.
  • Shape Control: Switch between Square, Rounded Square (App Icon style), or Circle.
  • Colors: Customize background and text colors to match your hex code brand palette.

How to create a text favicon

  1. Enter Characters: Type 1-2 letters (e.g., your company initials) in the input box.
  2. Select Font: Browse the dropdown to find a font style that suits your brand (Serif, Sans-serif, Display, or Handwriting).
  3. Adjust Style: Pick your brand colors for the background and text. Adjust the font size slider to ensure the letter fits perfectly within the box.
  4. Preview: Check the "Browser Tab" and "Google Search" previews to ensure readability at small sizes.
  5. Download: Click the database download button to get a ZIP file containing favicon.ico, favicon-32x32.png, apple-touch-icon.png, and a site manifest.
