Idea: Zola could have builtin icon generator, that would create the various icon sizes and formats from a provided original file.

See e.g. [https://realfavicongenerator.net/](https://realfavicongenerator.net/) for inspiration - in addition to the various file sizes, it also provides metadata files like `browserconfig.xml` and `site.webmanifest` that help various browsers and platforms display the site’s icon in the best possible way.

(note: not affiliated with that website/service, just an example that shows how much complexity there is that should be abstracted away from the end user)

If there is a crate that can generate all that sure, that looks like something that can be used outside of Zola as well.
