RealFaviconGenerator is a solid web app, but it requires you to upload assets outside of Figma. Favvy keeps everything in the file you’re already designing, which makes a big difference when revisions roll in.

Design context stays intact

Favvy reads vector layers directly, so you can tweak the icon and re-export instantly. With web-based generators, you need to export PNGs first, then reupload them for every change.

Integrated metadata

Favvy exports icons plus manifests and HTML snippets in one step. RealFaviconGenerator does this too, but you have to copy the code into Figma or your documentation manually. Favvy packages everything together, making it easier to store alongside your design system.

When RealFaviconGenerator might make sense

If you’re working without Figma or need advanced reporting on deployed favicons, RealFaviconGenerator is helpful. But for Figma-first teams, Favvy removes more friction and keeps the workflow centralized.

Collaboration edge

Favvy’s exports live alongside your design files, so product managers and engineers can preview updates without leaving Figma. RealFaviconGenerator requires sharing external links or zip files each time you iterate, which slows the feedback loop.

Recommendation

If your entire design system already lives in Figma, stick with Favvy. If you’re in a tool-agnostic environment or managing assets outside Figma, RealFaviconGenerator can fill the gap. For most modern teams, Favvy’s integration advantage wins.
