## Get the favicon from any website

To get a website’s favicon, paste its link into Sitepeel’s free favicon downloader. It reads the page’s icon links, its web app manifest and /favicon.ico, then lists every icon it finds: ICO, SVG and PNG favicons, Apple touch icons and app icons up to the biggest size, each with a preview and a download.

## Every icon a website gives browsers

One link, and you get the tab icon, plus the bigger icons phones and installed apps use.

- **favicon.ico:** The classic icon browsers ask every site for, even when its page doesn’t link one.
- **Favicon links:** Each <link rel="icon"> the page names: SVG, PNG and ICO.
- **Apple touch icons:** The icon an iPhone or iPad shows when someone adds the site to the home screen.
- **Web app manifest icons:** The 192 and 512 pixel icons Android and installed web apps use, maskable ones too.
- **Pinned tab and tile icons:** Safari’s pinned tab icon and the tile image Windows uses.
- **Logos and images too:** Need the logo or the social sharing image? The asset extractor lists every file. https://sitepeel.dev/free-tools/asset-extractor/

## Good to know

- Icons come in the format the site serves: ICO, PNG or SVG. Many sites have an SVG favicon, which scales to any size.
- A web app manifest on another domain that blocks reading can’t be read, so its icons may be missing.
- Pages behind a login need the [Sitepeel Chrome extension](https://sitepeel.dev/image-downloader-chrome-extension/).
- Icons are part of the site’s brand: use them for reference, or with the owner’s permission.

## Questions and answers

### What is a favicon downloader?

A tool that finds and saves the small icons a website gives browsers: the favicon in the tab, the Apple touch icon and the web app icons. Paste a link and Sitepeel lists them all.

### How do I get the favicon from a website?

Paste the site’s link and press Get favicon. Open an icon to see its size and where the page names it, then download it, or press ZIP for all of them.

### Where is a website’s favicon stored?

At the address in the page’s icon link, and often at /favicon.ico in the site’s root folder. Apple touch icons have their own link, and web app icons are listed in the site’s manifest file.

### How do I get a bigger favicon?

Look past the tab icon: Apple touch icons are usually 180 pixels, and web app icons 192 and 512 pixels. Press Largest to put the biggest first. When a site offers one icon in several sizes, you get the biggest, and its card says how many sizes it found.

### Can I download a favicon as PNG or SVG?

You get each icon in the format the site serves it: ICO, PNG or SVG. If the site has an SVG favicon, that one scales to any size.

### Why are some icons missing?

A manifest on another domain may block reading, and a site that sets its icon only with a script may not have done it when we read the page. Pages behind a login need the Chrome extension.

### Is the favicon downloader free?

It works like the asset extractor: you get a few free runs to start, then sign in (free) to keep going, and [lifetime access](https://sitepeel.dev/#pricing) makes them unlimited.

### Can I use a website’s favicon?

It is part of the site’s brand. Showing it next to a link to that site is common; using it as your own logo needs the owner’s permission. More tools for files: the [asset extractor](https://sitepeel.dev/free-tools/asset-extractor/).
