Favicon verification
Your favicon is ready. But does it work?
If your website is online, use the favicon checker. RealFaviconGenerator verifies your favicon, lets you know how your site appears on various platforms, and give you hints if something is wrong.
If your website is still under development and running on your local machine, use RealFaviconGenerator's CLI tool withnpx realfavicon check <port> (for example, npx realfavicon check 3000).
Advanced usage
As a developer, you often need more than an online tool.
Command line
To work in a CLI environment, use npx realfavicon:
- To create a favicon, use
npx realfavicon generate (...). Don't waste your time learning a new CLI. Rather use the favicon creation via CLI tool to get started. - To check the favicon of the web app you're working on, run
npx realfavicon check <post>. For example, to verify the icons of a Next.js app, you're probably going to usenpx realfavicon check 3000.
TypeScript/JavaScript for Node and your favorite server-side runtime
You can generate icons and markups right from your code, using the same module RealFaviconGenerator uses internally, @realfavicongenerator/generate-favicon. But it's much more quicker to start with the Node generation tool to get your first ready-to-use snippet.
Got favicon markups but don't know what to do next? @realfavicongenerator/inject-markups injects them in your HTML files.
You can also automate the verification of favicon by leveraging @realfavicongenerator/check-favicon. This module analyzes the favicon of a website and returns a report you can easily process, along with the icons themselves.
Interactive API
You can integrate RealFaviconGenerator's favicon experience to a site builder, thanks to the interactive API. This is how the RealFaviconGenerator for WordPress plugin operates.
