About the Favicon Downloader

Favicons are tiny but essential branding assets. Whether you build landing pages, document competitor research, or design UIs, you often need the exact icon a site exposes in `/favicon.ico` or via `<link rel='icon'>`. The Favicon Downloader fetches the icon directly over HTTPS, surfaces alternate sizes when available, and lets you copy or save the asset without opening DevTools.

How the favicon downloader works

A bare domain is normalized to https://, then the page HTML is fetched (capped at 512 KB) and parsed. Every <link> whose rel is icon, shortcut icon, apple-touch-icon, mask-icon or fluid-icon becomes a candidate, resolved against <base href> when one is present, alongside the origin's /favicon.ico, which is always tried. With manifest scanning enabled, the icons[] array of a linked web app manifest is added too. Candidates are deduplicated by URL, capped at twelve, then probed with HEAD and retried with GET. Ranking prefers SVG over PNG, JPEG and ICO, adds the largest declared pixel size, and penalizes anything answering 4xx.

Why Designers and SEOs Love It

Supports classic `/favicon.ico` plus modern multi-size icon declarations.
No extensions or command line required—perfect for account managers who just need the asset quickly.
Fetches the site through our server-side proxy, so it works even when a favicon has no CORS headers.

How to Use the Favicon Downloader

1

Enter the homepage URL or just the domain (we normalize to https:// if missing). Example: `https://minitoolstack.com`.

2

Click Run Tool. We request the root favicon first and, when present, scan HTML for modern `rel='icon'`, `apple-touch-icon`, or `manifest` definitions.

3

Preview the returned icon and choose the size/format you need (ICO, PNG, SVG).

4

Download the file or copy the direct URL to embed inside presentations, design systems, or QA reports.

5

Use cases: populate design mockups, document redirect migrations, double-check that a brand refresh propagated to the favicon, or grab partner logos for curated lists.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Entering a deep path that blocks the root favicon. Always start with the primary domain unless a subdomain has its own icon.
Requesting private or staging hosts; the downloader can only reach public URLs.
Expecting vector perfection from tiny ICO files. If the site only serves a 16×16 bitmap, upscale it elsewhere instead of reusing it for print.
Assuming the tool validates trademark usage. It only fetches the asset—you still need the brand’s permission for commercial use.

  • Open Graph Preview — The same page usually declares Open Graph tags too, so check how its title, description, and share image render on social platforms.
  • Base64 Image Encoder — Once you have the icon file, convert it to a data: URI so you can inline it in HTML or CSS instead of making an extra request.

FAQ

Does it download apple-touch icons too?

Yes, when the page exposes `apple-touch-icon` or manifest entries, we display them alongside the default favicon.

Can I supply just a domain without https://?

Yes. A bare domain is completed to https:// automatically before the site is fetched.

What if the site blocks requests?

Some sites restrict hotlinking. If we receive 403/404 responses, try loading the URL manually or confirm the icon path in the HTML source.

Do you store the icons?

No. Assets are fetched on demand and never saved on our servers.
