Guide & FAQ

What is the Pixel Favicon Editor?

A pixel-by-pixel drawing tool designed to create favicons from scratch directly in the browser. It lets you work on grids of 16×16, 32×32, 48×48 or 64×64 px, pick colors with variable opacity, use pencil, eraser, flood fill, eyedropper, line and rectangle tools, and export the result as .ico or .png.

Available tools

Pencil (P) — Paints a pixel with the foreground color.
Eraser (E) — Removes the pixel color (fully transparent).
Fill (F) — Flood fill: colors the entire connected area of the same color.
Eyedropper (I) — Picks the color from the pixel you click.
Line (L) — Draws a straight line between two points (Bresenham algorithm).
Rectangle (R) — Draws the outline of a rectangle.
