PWA Manifest & Asset Generator

A Web App Manifest (manifest.json or manifest.webmanifest) is a W3C-standardized JSON file that informs browsers how your progressive web application should behave when installed on desktop or mobile devices. Key parameters include:

• Name & Short Name: name is the full title displayed on installation banners and app managers. short_name is used on device home screens where space is restricted (keep under 12 characters to prevent truncation).
• Start URL & Scope: start_url defines the launch route when an installed app is opened. scope defines the navigation boundary—any clicks navigating outside this path break out into standard browser tabs.
• Display Mode: Set to standalone to remove browser toolbars and address bars, giving your web app a native window frame.
• Theme & Background Colors: theme_color tints the OS status bar and task switcher, while background_color paints the canvas during the transition before your stylesheets load.

You can validate and format your generated manifest JSON structure with our JSON Formatter.
