How to get the favicon from a website

Three steps. No browser extension, no code, no account.

  1. Paste the website

    Type or paste the site's address and start the search. The grabber reads every icon the site declares: the browser tab icon, the iPhone home-screen icon, the web app icons and the Safari pinned-tab icon.

  2. Pick an icon

    Each icon is shown big, with its type and pixel size in plain words. Want the company's whole logo rather than its icon? Download the company's full logo with the Logo Finder.

  3. Download it, or take the whole pack

    Save the icon as PNG or SVG, press ICO for one .ico with every size from 16 to 256 px, or download the favicon pack: PNGs at 16, 32, 48, 180, 192 and 512 px, the .ico files and a site.webmanifest, together in one ZIP.

Which icons does a website have?

Most sites carry up to four kinds, each made for a different place. The grabber finds them all, so you can take the sharpest.

IconWhere you see itSizeHow the site names it
FaviconBrowser tabs, bookmarks, history, and beside the site in Google resultsSmall squares such as 16, 32 and 48 px; Google recommends larger than 48 x 48 px for Searchrel="icon", or the file /favicon.ico
Apple touch iconiPhone and iPad home screens180 x 180 px for iPhone, in Apple's Safari web content guide (archived)rel="apple-touch-icon"
Web app iconsAndroid home screens, installed web apps and their splash screens192 and 512 px: Chromium browsers need both to install a web appListed in the site.webmanifest
Safari pinned-tab iconPinned tabs in Safari on a MacA one-color SVG, sharp at any sizerel="mask-icon"

The large app icons are the best start for anything bigger than a tab: a tile, a slide, a printed list.

Where browsers look for a favicon

A browser follows a short trail to a site's icon. The grabber walks the same trail, so it finds what every browser and phone would show.

The page head first. Link tags with rel="icon" name the icon files, often one per size plus an SVG, and the browser picks the best fit for the screen.

The site root next. With no icon named, a browser asks for /favicon.ico at the top of the site, the place early Internet Explorer introduced for favicons. The grabber checks the root locations too.

Phones read their own icons. iPhones and iPads look for the Apple touch icon, and Android and installed web apps read the icons listed in the site.webmanifest.

Google reads the home page. For its search results, Google takes the icon linked from the home page, as long as Googlebot may crawl both the page and the icon file.

Grab every size

Most sites carry the same icon at several sizes. Take the one that fits the job, sharp, the first time.

Every icon the site declares gets its own tile with its pixel size: tab icons at 16, 32 or 48 px, a 180 px Apple touch icon, web app icons up to 512 px, and an SVG when the site has one.

For a list, a table or a tab mockup, the tab icon is the right size already. For a slide, a tile or a printed list, take the 512 px app icon or the SVG. For a Windows shortcut, press ICO on the largest icon for one .ico with every size from 16 to 256 px.

Making icons from your own image instead? The PNG to ICO converter turns any PNG or logo into a multi-size .ico and a full favicon pack.

What is in the favicon pack?

Every icon file a website needs, made from one icon or logo, in one download.

Each size and where it shows, for favicons, social profiles and print: the favicon and logo sizes guide.

How do you add a favicon to a website?

Copy the pack's files to your site's main folder and add four lines to the head of every page.

With the files in the root folder (where the home page lives), these lines point browsers, phones and Google to them. Use the file names from your pack:

<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">

Website builders and shop platforms have a site icon setting instead: upload the 512 px PNG there.

Google can show your favicon beside your pages in its search results. Its guidelines ask for a square icon linked from the home page, recommend one larger than 48 x 48 px, and need Googlebot to be able to fetch it.

What do people grab favicons for?

A favicon is a company's logo at its smallest and most recognizable, which makes it useful far beyond the browser tab.

Apps and dashboards

Show each site's icon beside its link in a CRM, a bookmarks page, an integrations list or a weekly report.

Mockups and slides

A browser tab, a phone home screen or a slide listing the tools a team uses looks real with each site's own icon.

Your own site's check-up

See every icon your site serves, big, on light and dark, and which kinds it has: tab icon, Apple touch icon, app icons, pinned-tab icon.

Agencies and freelancers

Collect a client's current icons before a redesign, then hand back a fresh favicon pack made from the new logo.

Integration and partner grids

Small square icons line up neatly in a grid of partners, plugins or payment options, one tidy tile each.

Documents and spreadsheets

A small square icon labels each row of a vendor list, a stack of software or a project plan at a glance.

Full logos for a row of customers, all sized to match: the logo wall maker. A clean, transparent icon from a logo on a white box: the logo background remover.

Make a favicon from your own logo

Drop your logo on the box and download Favicons: the pack centers the logo on a square, the shape every icon slot expects, and every size above comes from that one file.

A tab icon is only 16 pixels across, so a symbol or a single letter from the logo reads better than a full name. The White and Any color versions make a light or brand-color icon in a click, and the logo to SVG converter gives you a vector of the mark to start from.

Favicon grabber FAQ

Clear answers about favicons: how to grab them, where sites keep them, which sizes they come in and how to make your own.

Ask us anything
How do I get the favicon of any website?

Paste the website into the favicon grabber. It reads the site's tab icon, its Apple touch icon, its web app icons and its Safari pinned-tab icon, shows each one big with its size, and lets you download any of them as PNG or ICO, or the whole favicon pack.

How do I download a favicon in high resolution?

Pick the largest icon the site has. The Apple touch icon is usually 180 px and the web app icons reach 512 px, far sharper than a 16 px tab icon, and some sites also have an SVG icon that is sharp at any size. For the company's full logo, use the Logo Finder.

Where is a website's favicon stored?

Wherever the page head points: a link tag names each icon file, often several sizes. Many sites also keep a favicon.ico at the root of the site, and list their app icons in a site.webmanifest. The grabber reads all of these, and checks the usual root locations when a page names no icon.

What is a favicon?

The small square icon a website shows in browser tabs, bookmarks and history, and beside its pages in Google results. It is usually the logo's symbol or first letter, drawn to read at 16 pixels.

Can I download the Apple touch icon and app icons too?

Yes. Each icon the site declares appears as its own tile with its type and pixel size: the tab icon, the Apple touch icon, the web app icons and the pinned-tab icon. Download any of them, or take the whole set as a favicon pack.

Can I make a favicon pack from my own logo?

Yes. Drop your logo on this page and download Favicons: a favicon.ico, an .ico with every size from 16 to 256 px, PNGs at 16, 32, 48, 180, 192 and 512 px, a site.webmanifest and the HTML lines for your page head, all made in your browser.

Why does a favicon look blurry when I enlarge it?

Because a tab icon is tiny, often 16 to 48 px. For a sharper icon, take the site's Apple touch icon or one of its web app icons, which are much larger, or get the full logo from the Logo Finder.

Is the favicon grabber free?

Yes. You can look up websites without signing up, and a free account unlocks more searches. Making a favicon pack from your own logo is free and unlimited.
