What is the Web Manifest Downloader?

A web app manifest is a small JSON file that lets a website be installed like an app on phones and computers. It holds the app name, colours, start page and icons. Websites link to it with <link rel="manifest">.

Our tool reads the page, follows that link (or tries common names like manifest.json and site.webmanifest), and downloads the file. You see all the main settings, every icon with a preview, and warnings if something needed for installing is missing.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste the website address, like example.com. You can also paste the full link to the file.
  2. Press the button. We look for the web app manifest in the right place on that website. We read the page head first to find the correct file name.
  3. Read the simple summary to see what the file says.
  4. Press Download to save the file, or Copy text to paste it anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between manifest.json and site.webmanifest?
Nothing important. They are two common names for the same kind of file. What matters is the link in the page head.
Which icons does a PWA need?
At least a 192×192 and a 512×512 PNG icon. A maskable icon is recommended so it looks good in round shapes on Android.
Want the icons too?
Use our PWA Icon Pack Downloader to get all icons in one ZIP file.
