Popis

Forma Favicon is a modern favicon generator built into your WordPress admin. 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:

The build/ directory is generated from src/ using @wordpress/scripts with a custom webpack configuration.

To build from source:

Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/justusdeitert/forma-favicon.git
Install dependencies: npm install
Run the build: npm run build

Instalace

Upload the forma-favicon folder to /wp-content/plugins/

Upload a source image and click Generate Favicons

Requirements

WordPress 6.2 or higher
PHP 7.4 or higher with the GD extension enabled

Nejčastější dotazy

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.

Forma Favicon is straightforward to set up and covers all the relevant icon sizes you’d expect. It also generates a web app manifest, which is a nice bonus if you’re aiming for PWA compatibility. The main drawbacks are small but worth knowing. The favicon didn’t show up on mobile in my testing (probably a caching issue), and there’s no preview for the background color or border radius settings, so you’re adjusting those a bit blind. I covered it in detail in my latest Plugin Check video on@wordpress103 on YouTube.
