Favicon.now
What it is
Favicon.now is a free web and API tool for creating, checking, validating, and packaging favicon assets. Inputs can be images, SVG files, text, or emoji, supporting workflows for initials, monograms, brands, placeholders, logos, illustrations, product marks, and existing artwork. The editor previews 16, 32, 48, 180, 192, and 512 pixel sizes in browser-tab, search-result, and home-screen contexts. Its standard package contains SVG, multi-resolution ICO, PNG fallbacks, Apple touch icons, ordinary and maskable PWA icons, a web manifest, HTML, and documentation. Downloads can use structures for Standard, Next.js App Router, Vite, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Angular, Django, or Flask. The versioned API accepts raster files up to 8 MiB and returns a favicon ZIP. Editing and previews run in the browser, while packaging processes rendered data in memory. Accounts are unnecessary for generators, downloads, checkers, and guides; Google sign-in is optional for saved projects.
