About Favicon Downloader
Download Any Website Favicon with a Single Click
Favicons are those tiny icons that appear in browser tabs, bookmark bars, and search results next to a website's name. They seem simple, but finding and downloading them is surprisingly tricky. They can be buried in HTML link tags with various rel attributes, served from different paths, or hosted on a CDN with a URL you would never guess. The Favicon Downloader does the detective work for you - enter a URL and get every favicon the site provides, ready to download.
Why You Would Need to Download a Favicon
There are more legitimate reasons than you might think. Competitive analysis often includes visual audits where you collect competitor logos and branding assets - favicons are part of that set. Link aggregation tools and bookmark managers display favicons next to saved URLs, and sometimes you need to manually cache one that is not loading. Design presentations showing how a website appears in a browser tab require the actual favicon, not a screenshot that looks blurry at small sizes.
Developers building browser extensions, new tab pages, or link preview cards need favicons for the sites they reference. SEO reports and site audits sometimes check whether a favicon exists and is properly configured - downloading it is the first step in that verification.
How the Favicon Downloader Works
Enter the URL of any website. The tool checks multiple standard favicon locations: /favicon.ico, the <link rel="icon"> tag, <link rel="apple-touch-icon">, the web app manifest for high-resolution icons, and common fallback paths. It retrieves every favicon variant the site offers - from the tiny 16x16 classic icon to the 512x512 PWA icon - and displays them all with their dimensions and file sizes.
Click on any variant to download it. If the site provides multiple sizes, you can grab the exact resolution you need for your use case. The tool surfaces formats including ICO, PNG, SVG, and JPEG favicons.
The Many Places Favicons Hide
Websites do not always put their favicon in the obvious place. The classic /favicon.ico at the site root is just one option. Modern sites declare favicons via HTML meta tags with dozens of possible rel values: icon, shortcut icon, apple-touch-icon, apple-touch-icon-precomposed, and mask-icon. Progressive Web Apps declare icons in their manifest.json with multiple sizes and purposes. Some sites serve different icons based on colour scheme preferences. The Favicon Downloader checks all these locations so you do not have to.
High-Resolution Icons for Modern Use Cases
The 16x16 ICO file is fine for a browser tab, but if you need a favicon for a mobile home screen, a social media card, or a presentation slide, you want the largest version available. Apple Touch Icons are typically 180x180 pixels, and PWA manifest icons go up to 512x512. These high-resolution versions look crisp on retina displays and scale down cleanly for smaller contexts. The downloader shows you all available sizes so you can pick the sharpest option.
Respecting Copyright
Favicons are typically trademarked brand assets. Downloading one for personal reference, development testing, or editorial use is generally acceptable. Using someone else's favicon as your own or implying affiliation with a brand you do not represent is not. Use this tool responsibly and respect the intellectual property of the sites you are downloading from.
