Favium vs MakeIcon

Favium generates favicon and app icon files from images, browser canvas content, or text. Its outputs include ICO files, PNGs, HTML snippets, and web manifests. ICO files can bundle 16, 32, 48, and 256 pixel entries, while PNG favicons can be exported at any resolution. In a browser, its canvas API creates favicons from an HTMLCanvasElement without a server. The CLI accepts local files, directories, WebP images, and remote URLs, and can create lettermark icons from text. Presets include default, web-app, apple-android, and custom options, with custom size bundles available. The web-app preset is described as ready for Android, iOS, and browsers; the generated assets are described as compatible with modern browsers, PWAs, and mobile devices. Favium is a free, open-source tool under the MIT license. The site shows installation with npm install favium and CLI use with npx favium-cli@latest, and welcomes contributions, issues, and feedback.

MakeIcon creates customizable app icons for iOS, Android and web from open-source icon collections. The site lists more than 8,000 icons, including collections from Lucide, Font Awesome and Material Design. Users can change color, background, shape, gradient, padding and size, with previews on device mockups. The main generator exports PNG files or a ZIP bundle with platform sizes for iOS, Android and web. Separate AI tools generate icons and SVGs from text prompts, with SVG or PNG downloads. Liquid Glass Studio supports layered artwork, real-time WebGL2 effects, PNG exports up to 4096px and ZIP bundles with default, dark and clear variants. MakeIcon works in a browser without installation on Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile devices. Its free plan requires no signup and adds no watermark. The About page says icon designs are processed in the browser and not uploaded, stored or tracked; AI prompts go to Cloudflare Workers AI. AI use is subject to fair-use rate limits, and customized icons may be collected anonymously for the public library.
