# IconGenerator

`interface IconGenerator` [(source)](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/blob/master/components/browser/icons/src/main/java/mozilla/components/browser/icons/generator/IconGenerator.kt#L16)

A [IconGenerator](./index.md) implementation can generate a [Bitmap](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html) for an [IconRequest](../../mozilla.components.browser.icons/-icon-request/index.md). It's a fallback if no icon could be
loaded for a specific URL.
