What is a text favicon?
A text favicon displays a letter, initials, or short text as the website's browser tab icon. This approach is used by many well-known brands — Google uses a colored 'G', Facebook uses 'f', and Medium uses 'M'. Text favicons are quick to create, instantly recognizable, and look clean at small sizes where complex graphics become illegible.
Common use cases
Text favicons are ideal for portfolios, corporate sites, SaaS products, and any brand that uses a logotype or monogram. They are faster to create than pixel-perfect icon designs and ensure the favicon remains legible at 16x16 pixels. Developers also use them during early development to give each project a distinct tab identity before finalizing branding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What text length works best for favicons?
One or two characters work best because favicons are displayed at very small sizes (16x16 to 32x32 pixels). A single letter or two-letter monogram remains readable, while longer text becomes blurry and illegible.
What format should I export my text favicon in?
SVG is ideal for modern browsers because it scales to any resolution. For maximum compatibility, also generate a 32x32 PNG fallback. Most sites include both an SVG and a PNG favicon link tag.
