Automatically resizes and copies icons for all platforms in Cordova projects.
cordova-icon is a Node.js command-line tool that automatically resizes and copies application icons for Cordova projects. It takes a single high-resolution icon file and generates all required platform-specific sizes for iOS, Android, Windows, and OSX, eliminating manual image processing. The tool integrates seamlessly with Cordova's build process and follows platform-specific icon requirements.
Cordova and PhoneGap developers building cross-platform mobile applications who need to manage multiple icon sizes across different operating systems. It's particularly useful for teams maintaining applications that target multiple platforms simultaneously.
Developers choose cordova-icon because it automates a tedious, error-prone part of mobile development with zero configuration for most use cases. Unlike manual resizing or platform-specific tools, it provides a unified workflow that ensures consistency across all target platforms while saving significant development time.
Automatic icon resizing for Cordova
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Automatically generates icons for iOS, Android, Windows 10, and OSX from a single source image, eliminating manual resizing as stated in the README's key features.
Supports platform-specific source images like icon-ios.png for tailored designs, providing flexibility without complex configuration.
Can be configured as a Cordova hook to run before each build, integrating into automated workflows per the README's hook setup instructions.
Works out-of-the-box with default file locations, requiring only a high-resolution icon.png in the project root for most use cases.
Requires ImageMagick to be installed separately, adding setup steps and potential compatibility issues across different operating systems.
Does not update the config.xml file, forcing developers to manually remove old icon references to avoid conflicts, as noted in the README.
Only supports iOS, Android, Windows 10, and OSX, leaving out newer or niche Cordova platforms without built-in updates.
Cannot handle dynamic or conditional icons, such as variations for different app versions or user preferences, limiting advanced use cases.
