What Favium is
Favium generates favicon and app icon assets from images, canvas content, or text for browser and command-line workflows. It can create ICO files, PNGs, HTML snippets, and web manifests. Multi-size ICO exports can include 16, 32, 48, and 256 pixel entries, while PNG favicons can be exported at any resolution. Its browser API generates icons directly from an HTMLCanvasElement without a server. The CLI accepts local files, directories, WebP images, and remote URLs, and it can create lettermark icons from text. Presets include default, web-app, apple-android, and custom options, with custom size bundles also available. The web-app preset is described as ready for Android, iOS, and browsers, and the site describes output as compatible with modern browsers, PWAs, and mobile devices. Favium is free and open source under the MIT license. The site shows installation with npm install favium and CLI use with npx favium-cli@latest, and welcomes contributions, issues, and feedback.
