What Icons We Extract

Favicon.ico

The classic ICO format found in the root of most sites, often containing multiple sizes (16x16 to 256x256). Convert it with our ICO to PNG converter.

PNG Favicons

Modern PNG icons in sizes from 16x16 up to 512x512. Higher quality than ICO for single sizes. Need the reverse? Use PNG to ICO.

SVG Favicons

Scalable vector icons that look crisp at any resolution. Supported by all modern browsers. Convert to ICO with our SVG to ICO tool.

Apple Touch Icons

High-resolution icons (typically 180x180) used when saving sites to iOS home screens. Essential for any mobile-friendly site.

Android / PWA Icons

Icons from the Web App Manifest (192x192, 512x512) for Android Chrome and Progressive Web Apps. Required for PWA installability.

Microsoft Tiles

Icons for Windows tiles and pinned Start menu entries, defined in browserconfig.xml. Used by Edge and Windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Favicons are typically copyrighted by their owners. Use extracted icons for personal reference, inspiration, or things like bookmark managers. For your own site, create original favicons with our Favicon Generator - upload any image and get all required sizes in seconds.

Some sites have no favicons configured, while others serve icons from CDNs that block external requests. Try the Favicon Checker to see if icons exist but are blocked, or verify the URL is correct.

SVG is best for scalability. PNG is ideal when you need a specific pixel size. ICO files often contain multiple sizes in one file. Need to convert between formats? Our PNG to ICO, ICO to PNG, and SVG to ICO converters have you covered.

Use our Favicon Generator - upload any PNG, JPG, or SVG and we generate all required sizes and formats, including ICO, PNG at multiple resolutions, Apple Touch Icons, and a Web App Manifest icon package.

No - this tool can only access publicly available websites. Favicons behind authentication walls are not reachable. If you're a site owner auditing your own icons, check them via the Favicon Checker after logging in.

Icons are downloaded at their original size. A 16x16 icon will appear blurry when displayed larger. Look for Apple Touch Icons (180x180) or manifest icons (512x512) for high-resolution versions. If you only have a small icon, our PNG to ICO converter can help repackage it.
