This website requires the HTML5 <canvas> element (a feature which your current browser does not support). Please visit What Browser? for information on how to upgrade. Fav.NINJA is a work in progress. Is it lacking something, however small, that could be useful to you? Send us Feedback! This is a .ico file containg both a 16x16 image and a 32x32 image. This is recommended. This is a .ico file containing a single 16x16 image. NOT recommended. This will look terrible on retina displays. Below are links to .png files appropriate for App Store submissions. The icon will then be displayed next to bookmarks, in tabs, etc. across all major browsers. The 152x152 will be used as-is on…from fav.ninja
