# Favicon Generator

> Generate all standard favicon files from a single source image.

## What does this tool do?

This tool converts one uploaded image into a complete favicon package for modern websites. It creates standard PNG favicon sizes, builds a multi-size favicon.ico file, generates a site.webmanifest for PWA support, and provides a ready-to-paste HTML head snippet.

## What inputs does it accept?

- **Source image file** — Upload a PNG, JPG, SVG, or WebP file to use as the favicon base.

## What does it output?

- **Favicon PNG files** — 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 180x180, 192x192, and 512x512 sizes.
- **favicon.ico** — ICO file that includes 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 icon variants.
- **site.webmanifest** — Manifest JSON with Android/PWA icon references.
- **HTML snippet** — Link tags for favicon, Apple Touch Icon, and manifest setup.
- **ZIP bundle** — One-click archive containing all generated files.

## How does it work?

1. The uploaded image is loaded into an in-memory image element.
2. The tool resizes it on a canvas for each required favicon dimension.
3. It composes a valid ICO container with embedded PNG images for legacy support.
4. It creates a standard web manifest JSON and HTML link snippet.
5. It packages everything into a downloadable ZIP.

## Examples

**Example 1:**
- Input: 1024x1024 logo PNG
- Output: favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, favicon.ico, apple-touch-icon.png, android-chrome icons, manifest, and HTML snippet
