Info

What does this tool do?

WAIG (Web App Icon Generator) generates you a set of web app icons and an app manifest so mobile browsers can treat your website like a web app when a user adds it to there home screen.

My website is targeted at desktops only....

Great, switch the toggle and generate just a classic 16x16 favicon.

Why do you want my apps name?

To put it in your manifest.json file so chrome will launch your app with the correct name.

What is a theme color?

Chrome on android will render the url bar of your website in this color, make sure it complements your icon.

What is the Resource directory option for?

This allows you to point to where you are planing on uploading your icons to, e.g /res/icons/favicon16x16.ico or http://www.mywebsite.com/res/icons/favicon16x16.ico.
If you plan on putting your icons in your websites root directory leave it blank.

Best practices

To avoid any aspect ratio issues, you should make sure your Icon is 1:1 ie, 1000 x 1000 pixels before uploading it.
