Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored, or sent to a third party.
Generated a well-formed SVG favicon with 0 finding(s).
How it works
- Normalised the background and foreground colours to lower-case hex.
- Drew the shape and the escaped monogram on a 64×64 SVG canvas.
- Emitted the data URI, the link tags and a matching manifest.
- The SVG favicon scales to every size without a raster asset.
- SVG favicons are supported by current Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Safari.
Methodology
- Normalise the supplied colours to a canonical six-digit lower-case hex value.
- Draw a background shape and centered, escaped monogram text inside a 64×64 viewBox.
- Serialise the SVG, percent-encode a data URI, and build the link and manifest snippets.
Usage
- Enter one or two characters (or an emoji) for the icon.
- Enter the background and foreground colours as 3- or 6-digit hex (for example "#090d16").
- Choose a square, rounded or circle shape.
- Generate and copy the SVG, the data URI or the link tags.
Examples
These are examples, not current values: they use fixed inputs, while the interactive tool computes live results in your browser.

"shape": "rounded"
}A circular emoji favicon

Favicons and the browser
A favicon is the small icon a browser shows for a page. An SVG favicon is a single XML file that the browser can render at any size.
Link the generated file with `<link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg">` in the document head.
Frequently asked questions
- Which image format is generated?
- A single well-formed SVG file. Current browsers accept an SVG favicon; it keeps the asset tiny and scales cleanly.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The SVG is built from your inputs with pure string operations in the browser and is never sent anywhere.
