What Favicraft is
Favicraft is a free, open-source web app for creating favicon packages from an image, text, emoji, or SVG. Its separate generator routes produce a package with a multi-size favicon.ico, PNG icons, an Apple touch icon, Android icons, a web manifest, and an HTML link snippet. You can select a circle, rounded square, square, or no background shape. Rectangular images are scaled and centered, then cropped to fit rather than stretched. The maker says generation happens in the browser, with no backend, uploads, or server processing; the app also has no accounts or analytics. Emoji results can vary because their appearance depends on the browser and operating system’s emoji font. A service worker caches the app shell so it can reopen after a visit without a network round-trip. The animated background freezes on a static frame when reduced-motion preference is enabled. The project uses the MIT License and is intended for people who need a set of favicon files from their own artwork or text.
