Cool, but be careful: at these sizes, anything that isn't rendered by hand is going to look blurry and bad.

Edit: Really good article on the subject: http://dcurt.is/pixel-fitting

All hand rendered icons are going to look much better hopefully this provides a good easy solution to developers with little time.

Developer here, all feedback appreciated, i'll do my best to fix any bugs found and answer questions.

Didn't notice any bugs, but haven't tested for bugs. Used it and it works great - favicon.ico is much small than that other thing I used in http://nashape.com/blog/2012/09/12/big-favicons/. Great work! (especially because you did it in PHP which, after 10 years, I don't think I can face again...)

This is browsable:

Not sure if that was the intended behaviour.

Glad you followed through with it. Here are some neat features to have:

1. How about drag and drop?

2. A simple download of the zip file I think will work better than the Apache directory listing.

3. Wouldn't worry too much about storing the files for a week. Just let it be a one off process.

4. Check the dimensions before you generate. Mention the fact that the image should be square.

Thanks a bunch for this tool!

I built similar tool for myself last weekend, published it in GitHub https://github.com/Harri/Printico/

And much thanks goes out to Apple for using arbitrary sizes for their favicons. The web compatibility community must love it...

Good tool, i would suggest to place and index.html in /uploads/ so i cant view other peoples uploads.

I actually left that browsable on purpose, i thought browsing other peoples favicons would be something quite interesting. Its not something i feel needed protecting.

she might disagree:

It's only a matter of time before there will be worse.

import by url would be nice to have. Great work.

Handy!
