Why Another Free Online Icon Generator?
Correct File Names
iconifier.net creates the Apple Launcher icons with the file names that devices expect, so there's no need to specify the icon locations in your HTML.
Transparency Preserved
Transparency for PNG and GIF files are preserved.
Higher Resolution Multiple Format Favicon
The favicon file is created with multiple embedded sizes of 16 x 16, 24 x 24, 32 x 32, 48 x 48 and 64 x 64 so the optimum quality favicon will be displayed. This is increasingly important as retina screens and modern web browsers embrace higher resolution icons.
Easy Operation
Uploads and downloads are all done simply from one screen. The created icons can be download individually or all together in one easy ZIP file that includes a folder so that icons aren't strewn across your desktop or elsewhere when the file is expanded.
Instructions
A ReadMe page at: http://iconifier.net/readme has instructions on where to upload the icons you generate.
The ReadMe page includes links and more information about favicons and Apple Launcher icons and reasons why I felt the need to improve on the existing icon generator websites.
Thanks
I'm very grateful to Chris Jean for sharing his excellent PHP-ICO tool which can now be found on GitHub. PHP-ICO enables favicon files to be created with PHP and the GD library only.
If you find the tool useful, please use the links on iconifier.net to share on your favourite social networks.
