Can I use an emoji as a favicon?

Yes, emojis work great as favicons. You can use an SVG with a text element containing the emoji, or convert the emoji to PNG or ICO format. This tool handles the conversion automatically and generates all the file formats you need for full browser support.

What size should a favicon be?

Favicons need multiple sizes for different contexts. Browser tabs typically use 16x16 or 32x32 pixels. Google Search results require at least 48x48. Apple devices need 180x180 for touch icons, and Android uses 192x192. For Progressive Web Apps, you should include a 512x512 version.

What is the best favicon format?

SVG is the modern choice - it scales perfectly to any size and supports dark mode adaptation. However, ICO files are still needed for older browsers. PNG works well for most situations. For complete browser coverage, use all three formats together.

What is Emoji Kitchen?

Emoji Kitchen is a feature from Google's Gboard keyboard that lets you combine two emojis into a new hybrid design. For example, combining a smiling face with a heart creates a smiling face with hearts.

Do combined emojis work in all browsers?

The combined emoji images from Emoji Kitchen are regular graphics, not actual emoji characters. This means they display identically in every browser and operating system.

How do I add a favicon to my website?

Add the favicon files to your website's public folder or root directory. Then include link tags in your HTML head section pointing to each file. We provide ready-to-use code snippets for HTML, Next.js, and other frameworks.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, completely free. No account required, no watermarks, no usage limits. The generated favicons are yours to use however you want, including commercial projects.

Can I use these favicons commercially?

Yes. The emoji designs come from Twemoji (Twitter's open source emoji set) which is licensed under CC-BY 4.0. This means you can use them for any purpose, including commercial websites and apps.
