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.

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.
Runs in your browser and honors HTTPS, keeping unpublished research private.

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.

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://?

Absolutely. We normalize bare domains to HTTPS and fall back to HTTP only if needed.

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.
