# Favicon Generator
Generate a complete set of favicon and app icon files from a source image. Produces all standard sizes needed for browsers, Apple devices, and Android, along with a web manifest and an HTML snippet.
## API Endpoint
`POST /api/v1/tools/favicon`
Accepts multipart form data with one or more image files. No settings are required.
## Parameters
This tool has no configurable parameters. It generates all standard sizes automatically.
## Generated Files
For each input image, the following files are produced:
| File | Size | Purpose |
|------|------|---------|
| `favicon-16x16.png` | 16x16 | Browser tab icon |
| `favicon-32x32.png` | 32x32 | Browser tab icon (HiDPI) |
| `favicon-48x48.png` | 48x48 | Desktop shortcut |
| `apple-touch-icon.png` | 180x180 | iOS home screen |
| `android-chrome-192x192.png` | 192x192 | Android home screen |
| `android-chrome-512x512.png` | 512x512 | Android splash screen |
| `favicon.ico` | 32x32 | Legacy ICO format |
| `manifest.json` | - | Web app manifest with icon references |
| `favicon-snippet.html` | - | Ready-to-use HTML link tags |
## Example Request
Single source image:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/favicon \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@logo.png"
```
Multiple source images (each gets its own set in a subfolder):
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/favicon \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@logo-light.png" \
-F "file=@logo-dark.png"
```
## Example Response
The response is a ZIP file streamed directly. The response headers are:
```
Content-Type: application/zip
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="favicons-a1b2c3d4.zip"
```
## HTML Snippet Included
The ZIP includes a `favicon-snippet.html` file you can paste into your HTML `<head>`:
```html
<!-- Favicons -->
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="48x48" href="/favicon-48x48.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json">
```
## Notes
- Source images are resized using `cover` fit mode, meaning they are cropped to fill each square size. For best results, use a square source image.
- When multiple files are uploaded, each gets its own subfolder in the ZIP (named after the source file).
- For a single file upload, all outputs are at the root of the ZIP with no subfolder.
- Files that fail validation or decoding are skipped, and a `skipped-files.txt` is included in the ZIP explaining the issues.
- Supported input formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, GIF, HEIC, SVG, RAW, PSD, and more.
- EXIF orientation is auto-applied before resizing.
