🛡️ Shield Badge Generator

Generate static badges with local preview, then copy Shields-compatible URLs, Markdown, HTML, and SVG

Local preview and SVG download are generated entirely in your browser. The Markdown / HTML / URL outputs are Shields-compatible snippets you can paste into a README right away.

Fields

In V1, the local preview renders the logo name as an initial token. The copied Shields-compatible URL keeps the full logo parameter.

Advanced Options
Encoding note: spaces become `_`, literal underscores become `__`, and literal hyphens become `--`. Link parameters only work in some embed modes; standard Markdown / img usage usually does not support split clickable areas.

Usage Notes & Limits

This version focuses on making static badges fast, clear, and easy to copy. Dynamic and endpoint badges are intentionally out of scope for V1.

The local preview never calls an external service. If you paste the compatible snippets into a README, the final hosted image will still be served by Shields.

Use the Shields / Simple Icons slug for the logo name whenever possible. V1 does not include an icon search panel, so it works best when you already know the logo identifier.
