Convert SVG to ICO using ImageMagick, with transparent background and multi-size icons

Raw

convert -density 256x256 -background transparent favicon.svg -define icon:auto-resize -colors 256 favicon.ico

mjhasbach commented Oct 13, 2015

The icon can also be colored:

convert -density 384 -background transparent -fill "#607D8B" -colorize 100 favicon.svg -define icon:auto-resize -colors 256 favicon.ico

For anyone else wondering why the density must be set

@mjhasbach @azam @keith24 I'm still getting blurry images with this. Is there an icon:auto-density ?

drmercer commented Apr 15, 2017

@graingert I got better results by using -density 256x256 as specified in this SO answer.

wieczorek1990 commented Jul 1, 2019

So to sumarize, use:

convert -density 256x256 -background transparent favicon.svg -define icon:auto-resize -colors 256 favicon.ico

char1es31 commented Jan 15, 2020

This can be done in magick directly:

magick -density 256x256 -background transparent favicon.svg -define icon:auto-resize -colors 256 favicon.ico

Updated with latest working parameters. Thanks all !

Hi there, I'm jumping into this thread long after the previous post... But this command gives me a multi-sized ICO as expected, but all dimensions are completely white (or any color I specify as the background parameter)... I don't find any clue about it for now...
