🔷 Iconforge
One image in, every favicon and app-icon size out — batched, offline, no watermark.
Iconscout's Unlimited plan is $9.99/month just to keep generating icon sets — and every source image still gets uploaded to do it. Iconforge takes one image and outputs the full favicon and app-icon set — ICO, PNG sizes, Apple touch icons, Android adaptive icons, a PWA manifest.json — entirely on your machine, for $15 once.

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/icon-favicon-generator. The $15 buys the packaged installer and updates.
Does my source image get uploaded anywhere?
No — every size and format is rendered locally in the app. No network calls.
Does it generate a PWA manifest.json?
Yes — with correct icon paths and sizes pre-filled, ready to drop into a web app.
Can I generate sets for multiple apps at once?
Yes — batch mode runs the same source image (or a folder of them) through the full export pipeline in one pass.
What image formats does it accept?
PNG, JPG and SVG in; ICO, PNG and manifest.json out.
