Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online web manifest generator.
It is a JSON file that gives a web app its name, icons, colours and display mode so it can be
installed on a device.
Reference it from the head of every page with a link element that has the rel value manifest
and the address of the file.
Set name for the full application name and short name for the label shown under the icon,
which should stay short.
It is the page opened when someone launches the installed app, usually the root path or a
dedicated app entry page.
Standalone hides the browser interface and looks like a native app. Fullscreen, minimal ui
and browser are the other options.
The theme colour tints the browser bar and the background colour fills the splash screen
while the application starts.
Provide at least a 192 pixel and a 512 pixel square icon in PNG format so installers can pick
a suitable size.
Yes. Browsers ignore a manifest that cannot be parsed, so check the preview and keep the
