Grunticon is a Grunt.js task that converts a folder of SVG/PNG icons into CSS classes using SVG and PNG data URLs, with PNG fallbacks for older browsers. It also generates a small loader script that asynchronously loads the appropriate icon CSS based on browser capabilities, with optional SVG enhancement for styling and scripting.
Use cases
- serve retina-ready svg icons with png fallbacks
- generate css classes for a folder of icon images
- replace css sprites with data-uri icons
- embed and style svg icons with css or javascript
- asynchronously load icon stylesheets based on browser support
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy grunt-based build pipeline that needs cross-browser icon support
- targeting old browsers that lack svg support
- wanting data-uri icons without css sprites
When to avoid
- starting a new modern project - the repository is archived and unmaintained
- using webpack, vite, or other modern bundlers instead of grunt
- needing an icon font or component-based icon system
