Comment (by Kelderic):

 Things to consider:

 1. iOS
 2. Android Chrome
 3. Windows 8 (and 10) tiles

 When using Real Favicon Generator, I end up with a zip file containing 27
 png image files, one xml file, one json file, and one ico. This covers
 everything.

 The process for Real Favicon Generator is:

 - Upload Image
 - Customize iOS:
   - Use Dedicated Picture, or Add Background Color, and Margins
 - Customize Android Chrome
   - Use Dedicated Picture, or add margins, background, drop shadow, etc.
 - Customize Win8 Tile
   - Use Dedicated Picture, or add background color or not.
 - Add cache buster, decide compression, decide scaling algorithm, and add
 App Name.

 This is a lengthy and in-depth process, but it does allow for all
 possibilities.

 Others have suggested having a simple setting and allowing it to be added
 to by a plugin. Wouldn't it be better in the long run though to use the
 media manager, with some special views, to handle it all?
