Favicon generator for Node CLI

Automate favicon generation in build scripts and npm package workflows.

Node CLI & npm scripts

Generate your favicon package first, then follow the steps below to integrate with Node CLI.

Installation steps

1
Generate favicons locally with our browser tool and save the ZIP.
2
Add an npm script to copy favicons into your project's public/ or dist/ folder.
3
Run the copy step before build or as part of your prepublish script.
4
Commit generated assets or regenerate them in CI for reproducible builds.
5
Document the script in your README for team members.

Code & configuration

Copy and adapt for your Node CLI project

// package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "favicons:copy": "cpy 'favicon-package/**' public --flat",
    "prebuild": "npm run favicons:copy"
  }
}

// Or with a small Node script:
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");
const src = path.join(__dirname, "favicon-package");
const dest = path.join(__dirname, "public");
for (const file of fs.readdirSync(src)) {
  fs.copyFileSync(path.join(src, file), path.join(dest, file));
}

Pro tips

Pair with chokidar-cli to watch and sync favicon changes during development.
Use npx only for one-off copies — checked-in assets are faster in CI.
