# favicon.love

> favicon.love is a free, professional-grade favicon and icon generator. It lets you create static and animated favicons from text, Google Icons, Google Fonts, emojis, uploaded images, and custom designs — plus production-ready macOS `.icns` app icons — all in the browser, with zero backend image processing.

favicon.love is a Vite + React SPA deployed on Netlify/Cloudflare Workers. The app generates favicons and macOS icons entirely client-side using HTML Canvas and ships all icon files as downloadable ZIPs. It also includes a Favicon Checker audit tool that analyses any public URL for proper favicon implementation across browsers, iOS, Android, and PWA contexts.

Key facts:
- All favicon and icon generation is 100% client-side (no image uploads to a server)
- Automated on-device AI Smart Crop via LiteRT.js (efficientdet_lite0 quantized model) centers logo crops locally
- Outputs: `.ico`, `.png` (16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 180×180), `.svg`, `site.webmanifest`, and `.icns` (macOS)
- The ICNS Maker encodes the official Apple Icon Image format with the full 10-size retina iconset (16px–512px @1x/@2x, OSTypes icp4/icp5/ic07–ic14), packaged as `.icns`, a flat PNG ZIP, or an `.iconset` folder for `iconutil`
- Animated favicons are generated as canvas-rendered GIF/APNG sequences
- The Favicon Checker endpoint is a serverless function at `/api/check-favicon?url=<encoded-url>`
- The Favicon Checker page supports deep-linking via `?url=<encoded-url>` query parameter
- Rate-limited to 5 checks per 30 seconds client-side
