Manifest generator

First

Tell us the address of your site and click "check my site". The page will then look at your site and get any useful information and usable icons it can from the publicly-available information in the code.

Enter your address (must be https://):

...

Download manifest.json

Choose any options below and the manifest will be automatically updated. Link to it by adding this line: <link rel="manifest" href="manifest.json"> just before the line </head> in your HTML.

Next…

We got this information your site. Change it, if you want. The short_name is what will actually be shown below your icon on the Android homescreen — keep it short!

Options

Set orientation

Does your website/ app need to start at a certain orientation?

Orientation: none portrait landscape

Start full screen?

Sites served over https can start full-screen. You can tell Android to start your site full-screen like any other app, or in “true fullscreen” like a game, hiding everything but your app.

Standalone (Show operating system features such as the top bar, but not browser features such as an address bar or back buttons. Good for utility applications.) Really fullscreen? (Good for games.) Show as a browser (Show all browser features such as the address bar.)

Set a background colour

While your app is being loaded, the background fills the sceen to show your user that something is happening. You may want to choose the predominant colour in your page or branding. (More about background colour)
