How to extract favicons

  1. Enter a website. Type or paste any address, for example github.com. The https:// part is optional.
  2. Extract the favicons. Press Extract favicons. The tool reads the page and lists every icon it declares - ICO, PNG, SVG, Apple Touch, Android and Windows tiles.
  3. Check the real sizes. Each card shows the size in pixels and where the icon comes from. Press Measure to also read the true format, file size and the layers inside ICO files.
  4. Download. Save a single icon, or press Download all to get every icon in one ZIP with a README.
  5. Reuse the markup. Copy the HTML link tags, or send an icon to a converter such as ICO to PNG.

Want to make your own? Use the Favicon Generator, or turn any picture into an icon with Image to ICO.

How the extractor treats websites

The tool only reads a site when someone asks for it. It never crawls on its own.

  • It says who it is. Requests carry the FaviconExtractor user agent and a contact address.
  • It obeys robots.txt. A site that disallows us is never read.
  • It asks once. Results are cached for 24 hours, and the same site is never hit twice within 30 seconds.
  • It only fetches what the page declares. No guessing of hidden files.

Own a website and prefer to stay out? Remove your site - it takes effect immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Favicons usually belong to their owners. Use extracted icons for reference, inspiration, bookmark managers or documentation.

For your own site, create an original icon with the Favicon Generator - upload any image and get every size you need.

Some sites declare no icons at all, and some block automated requests or ask us not to read them in robots.txt.

Check the address, try the homepage, or test the live icons with the Favicon Checker.

SVG is best for scaling, PNG when you need an exact pixel size, and ICO when you want several sizes in one file.

To switch formats, use PNG to ICO, ICO to PNG or SVG to ICO.

Use the Favicon Generator. Upload a PNG, JPG or SVG and it builds the ICO, PNG sizes, Apple Touch Icon and web app manifest icons.

Need the full set of files and tags? The Favicon Package creates it in one go.

No. The tool only reads public pages, so icons behind a login are out of reach.

If it is your own site, open it in your browser and check the icons with the Favicon Checker.

Icons download at their original size, and a 16 x 16 icon looks soft when it is shown larger.

Pick the Apple Touch Icon (180 x 180) or a manifest icon (512 x 512) for a sharp, large version. Need another size? Try the Favicon Resizer.

The sizes attribute in the HTML is only a promise. Sites often declare 32 x 32 and serve a 48 x 48 file, or the other way round.

The extractor reads the real pixel size of every icon and flags each mismatch. Look inside an ICO with the ICO Analyzer.

Yes. It only reads a site when a visitor asks for it, identifies itself as FaviconExtractor, obeys robots.txt and caches results for 24 hours.

Site owners can remove their site at any time.
