The goal of Favicon Party is simple; give a no-fuss and really fast means of producing icon files for websites and progressive web apps.
That means reducing the number of user options and having opinionated defaults, but the output files should be enough for most situations and if you're familiar with PWA development you can modify the manifest before use.
Uploads are quite restrictive. Favicon Party only accepts PNG, JPEG and SVG up to 384 KB, but there are reasons for that limitation...
PNG is the best source format for icons that have sharp edges, solid colours, or transparency. JPEG support was added as a fallback in case that's all you have to upload but they will still be converted to PNGs for the smallest icons in your icon pack.
The 384 KB size limit is admittedly self-serving, to help limit server resource requirements. It's more than enough for source icons at 512x512px (that largest conversion generated) and means Favicon Party can scale without prohibitively high running costs.
Note: SVG support is experimental so give it a try and fall back to PNGs if Favicon Party can't convert them properly. Most devices will still use the PNG conversions that Favicon Party includes in your icon pack.
The icon pack is a zip archive that contains the following files:
head.html, containing code you must add to your HTML head.manifest.json that will need to be placed in a web-accessible directory on your web server. You can edit this file to change our defaults or add extra PWA functionality.favicon.ico, which isn't actually used by anything Favicon Party configures but it is recommended to drop it into the root directory of your website to avoid 404s when browsers/services try to load it as a default/fallback icon.You icons and manifest.json should typically go into the same directory, as specified in the project's configuration and stated in the head.html code.
This is tool to simplify a recurring task and save time, especially in a multi-discipline environment when web designers and developers want to collaborate on website/PWA icons before approving them over for implementation.
