So cool!  Is there an SVG version (always the way to go with these things on the web)?  I wants merch!!

The new icon is now being used for the exiftool Windows app (version 13.20 and later), but it wasn't showing up for me on the Windows desktop due to icon caching by Windows (I was testing on a Windows 10 virtual machine).  However, the icon appeared properly after running these commands:

Code Select Expand

ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
ie4uinit.exe -show
I don't know if the 1st command was necessary...  The icon appeared after the 2nd command.

Maybe a little bit dark ?

Hi Jean,

Thanks for the feedback, but I need more details about how what icon you are using and with what software.  The Windows application icons should have a white border. For web browsers the favicon.svg should be white when used with a dark-mode scheme.  But I just checked and the apple-touch-icon.png didn't have a white background, and I have just fixed that, so if this is a web browser icon and your browser uses this png then maybe the issue is resolved (but you will have to clear your browser cache).

Hi Phil,

Actually, it depends on the background color of the window. The darker the color, the less visible the icon becomes. The Windows Ribbon only supports BMP, PNG, or ICO formats. I converted the SVG to BMP.
(I'm using Metadata++)

without dark mode:

However, since you converted it yourself, you should probably just make the background white instead of transparent.

However, you have a choice of icons that you can download from the web site:

favicon.svg - is white in dark mode
favicon.ico
favicon_border.ico - has a white border
apple-touch-icon.png - has a white background
