Let webpack generate all your favicons and icons for you

Favicons Webpack Plugin

Allows to use the favicons generator with webpack

Installation

You must be running webpack on node 0.12.x or higher

Install the plugin with npm:

$ npm install --save-dev favicons-webpack-plugin

Basic Usage

Add the plugin to your webpack config as follows:

let FaviconsWebpackPlugin = require('favicons-webpack-plugin')

...

plugins: [
  new FaviconsWebpackPlugin('my-logo.png')
]

This basic configuration will generate 37 different icons for iOS devices, Android devices and the Desktop browser out of your my-logo.png file. It can optionally also generate a JSON file with all information about the icons for you.

If you are using with html-webpack-plugin it will also inject the necessary html for you:

  <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="icons-366a3768de05f9e78c392fa62b8fbb80/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png">
  <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="icons-366a3768de05f9e78c392fa62b8fbb80/apple-touch-icon-60x60.png">

  ...
