What Favicon.now is

Favicon.now is a web tool for creating, inspecting, validating and packaging favicon assets for browsers, search results, Apple shortcuts and installable web apps. It accepts images, SVG, text and emoji. Text input is suited to initials, monograms, new brands and placeholders, while image input supports logos, illustrations, product marks and existing artwork. Live previews show 16, 32, 48, 180, 192 and 512 pixel sizes in browser-tab, search-result and home-screen contexts. A standard package includes SVG, multi-resolution ICO, PNG fallbacks, Apple touch icons, PWA icons, a web manifest, HTML and documentation. Downloads can use folder structures for Standard, Next.js App Router, Vite, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Angular, Django or Flask. Its versioned API accepts raster files up to 8 MiB and returns a favicon ZIP. Editing and preview rendering take place in the browser. Generators, downloads, checkers and guides do not require an account; Google sign-in is optional for saved projects and dashboard features. Saved projects are private by default.
