Upload any image — PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, or SVG — and the plugin generates every favicon format and size your site needs, all from a single source. **What it generates:** * `favicon.ico` with 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48 embedded * Apple Touch Icon (180×180) * Android Chrome icons (192×192 and 512×512) * `site.webmanifest` for PWA support * `browserconfig.xml` for Windows tiles **Icon styling controls:** * Adjustable padding (0–40%) to give your icon breathing room * Border radius (0–50%) for rounded or circular icons * Custom icon background color behind transparent images * Configurable theme color and background color for manifests **Live preview:** * Browser-tab mockup shows exactly how your favicon will look * Light and dark mode toggle to preview against both backgrounds * Changes update in real time via client-side canvas rendering * „Unsaved“ indicator when settings differ from the generated output **Smart features:** * Detects and resolves conflicts with other favicon plugins * Automatically overrides the WordPress default Site Icon * SVG source images are rasterized client-side before upload * Clean admin page under **Appearance Favicon** ### Source Code The full uncompressed source code (TypeScript/TSX, SCSS) and build configuration are available on GitHub: https://github.com/justusdeitert/forma-favicon The `build/` directory is generated from `src/` using `@wordpress/scripts` with a custom webpack configuration. To build from source: 1. Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/justusdeitert/forma-favicon. git` 2. Install dependencies: `npm install` 3. Run the build: `npm run build` ## Installation 1. Upload the `forma-favicon` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu 3. Go to **Appearance Favicon** 4. Upload a source image and click **Generate Favicons** #### Requirements * WordPress 6.2 or higher * PHP 7.4 or higher with the GD extension enabled ## FAQ ### What image formats can I use as a source? PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, and SVG. SVG files are converted to raster images client-side before processing. ### What favicon sizes are generated? 16×16, 32×32, 48×48 (bundled into favicon.ico), 180×180 (Apple Touch Icon), 192× 192 and 512×512 (Android Chrome / PWA). ### Does this replace the WordPress Site Icon? Yes. When Forma Favicon is active and favicons have been generated, it automatically overrides the default WordPress Site Icon output to avoid duplicates. ### What happens if I have another favicon plugin installed? Forma Favicon detects known conflicting plugins (like Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator) and gives you the option to deactivate or delete them from the settings page. ### Can I use a transparent PNG? Absolutely. You can set a background color behind transparent images using the icon background color option, or leave it transparent. ### Where are the generated files stored? All files are saved to `wp-content/uploads/favicon/`. ### Will deactivating the plugin remove my favicons? No. Generated files remain in the uploads directory. You can delete them from the plugin settings before deactivating if you want a clean removal. ## Rezensionen Für dieses Plugin gibt es keine Rezensionen. ## Mitwirkende und Entwickler „Forma Favicon“ ist Open-Source-Software.
