Thanks @dan @ben for another great episode… In the discussion you disclose various formats for web icons needed for various things. If users want an APP for that, @Doobox makes a [nice App](https://www.doobox.co.uk/apps/app_demos/rapidicons.html) that will take an image, make a PNG and ICO file for your website out of it. The ICO file contains the 3 sizes required. Does nothing for SVG format though. It’s useful, inexpensive and saves a whack of time… Just thought I would throw that out there… Brad ---

Yes, thanks. But… having been so clear about the correct way to pronounce Leicester and not once getting it wrong, you went and let the side down with Gloucester. ---

This resource was passed along to me as well: [http://realfavicongenerator.net/](http://realfavicongenerator.net/) Outputs a ton of different options (including Pinned Tab svg’s) ---

@Turtle , if you mean converting SVG into icons, I use [Iconverrticons](https://iconverticons.com/) for that. I haven’t used the app from @Doobox yet but I’ll play around with it and all the other stuff from them. @Doobox had a great mega bundle deal and I got the whole lot – including the kitchen sink. 😄 Anyway, if you want to convert SVG into icons, you might want to try Iconverticons. ---

Thanks for that @eagerweaver, no, I was saying that Doobox’s app does not make an svg for you. But your link is excellent non the less 🙂 The Font Awesome image creator is pretty cool too! Brad ---

One thing to check with ico and web images created by online and App generators, is the size of the files they generate. Some are absolutely huge! I generated a very simple ico file with an App and it created a 75K ico, yet the same original optimised png was 0.5k. Even the web images are a few Kb but at least you can optimise the pngs.
