What Favium is

Favium creates favicon and app-icon files from images, browser canvas content, and text. It offers both a web workflow and a CLI, with outputs that include ICO and PNG files, HTML snippets, and web manifests. ICO exports can bundle 16-, 32-, 48-, and 256-pixel entries; PNG favicons can be exported at any resolution. In a browser, its Canvas API generates icons directly from an HTMLCanvasElement without a server. For CLI use, inputs can be local files, directories, WebP images, or remote URLs. Favium can also turn text into lettermark icons.

Presets include default, web-app, apple-android, and custom, and users can define custom size bundles. The web-app preset is described as ready for Android, iOS, and browsers, while the generated assets are described as compatible with modern browsers, PWAs, and mobile devices. Favium is free to use and open source under the MIT license. The site provides the npm install favium command and shows CLI use with npx favium-cli@latest. It also welcomes contributions, issues, and feedback.
