CLI

The vendor/bin/favicon executable generates a favicon set from one required SVG or PNG input path.

vendor/bin/favicon <input> [options]
Option Default Purpose
--output, -o public Filesystem output directory
--public-path / URL prefix used in HTML and the manifest
--app-name App Application name used in the manifest
--theme-color #0b0b0b Browser UI and manifest theme color
--background-color #ffffff Manifest background color
--manifest Disabled Generate the Web App Manifest and Android icons
--search-png Disabled Generate the 48 by 48 Google Search PNG
--force, -f Disabled Overwrite existing generated files

Minimal set

vendor/bin/favicon assets/logo.svg

Complete optional set

vendor/bin/favicon assets/logo.svg --manifest --search-png

Custom paths and colors

vendor/bin/favicon assets/logo.svg \
    --output public/assets/favicons \
    --public-path /assets/favicons \
    --app-name "My App" \
    --theme-color "#00b7ff" \
    --background-color "#050608"

Colors must use six hexadecimal digits. Invalid colors fail before generation. The command exits successfully after printing the output directory, the status of each file, and the generated HTML snippet.

Rerun and diagnose

Existing outputs are skipped unless --force is supplied. This allows a safe rerun but does not detect that your source changed. To refresh an existing set:

vendor/bin/favicon assets/logo.svg --output public/favicons --public-path /favicons --manifest --app-name "My App" --force

Check input existence, a supported SVG/PNG extension, and six-digit color values first. If rasterization fails, check available adapters. If writing fails, confirm the PHP process can create and write the output directory. Filesystem paths and public URL prefixes are independent options.
