Bookmark Icon Customizer
Give your bookmarks a face.
Replace any bookmark's favicon with an emoji, a Material Design Icon
(14,000+ glyphs), or your own image. Works with plain URLs,
javascript: bookmarklets, and webhooks.
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Local-only storage, minimal permissions, zero tracking. Your bookmarks stay on your machine.
Emoji picker
High-DPI 128×128 emoji rendering for icons that stay crisp on every display.
14,000+ MDI glyphs
The full Material Design Icons library, searchable in-place.
Custom uploads
Drop a PNG, JPG, or ICO and you're done — the extension handles sizing and caching.
Bookmarklets, with icons
Turn javascript: bookmarks into proper icon-carrying launchers. Original source is always recoverable.
Webhook bookmarks
Tick a box to make a URL fire silently when clicked — like a dedicated button in your bar. Perfect for Home Assistant and friends.
Self-healing
If you ever reinstall the extension, bookmarklets revert to their original javascript: form automatically.
How it works
Chrome's favicon cache is keyed by URL and has no public write API. The extension handles the plumbing so you don't have to.
- Plain URLs — the target is opened once in a small focused-off popup window so Chrome caches your chosen favicon for that URL.
- Bookmarklets — rewritten to an extension launcher page that carries the favicon; the original JS is preserved verbatim in the URL and self-heals on reinstall.
- Webhooks — rewritten to a
data:text/htmlURL with the favicon inlined. Click the bookmark and it fires the request silently, without opening a tab. - Reversible everywhere — untick the customization and the bookmark is restored to its original form.
A closer look
The picker is built to feel at home next to Chrome's own UI.
