How to Check Any Website's Favicon
Whether you are auditing a competitor, debugging your own site, or researching brand icons, checking a website's favicon takes less than a minute with the right tools.
Quick answer
To check any website's favicon, paste the URL into the Favicon Checker — it finds /favicon.ico, <link rel="icon"> tags, and manifest icons, then shows each favicon URL with size and format details.
Check favicons on any website
Install the FetchFavicon Chrome Extension to extract, preview, and validate favicons instantly.
Paste any domain into the Favicon Checker. It fetches /favicon.ico, every <link rel="icon"> tag, apple-touch-icon, and manifest icons in one pass — so you see exactly what browsers can load.
Browsers discover favicons from two places: the site root (/favicon.ico) and <link rel="icon"> declarations in <head>. A good checker lists each favicon URL it finds, including PNG, SVG, and ICO variants.
To extract a favicon from a website, open any discovered URL in a new tab and save the image, or download all variants from the checker results. PNG and SVG sources give the sharpest copies for reuse.
Inspect favicon sizes before you reuse an icon. Tab icons are often 16×16 or 32×32; apple-touch-icon is typically 180×180; PWA manifest entries may be 192×192 or 512×512. The checker shows pixel dimensions for each file.
Install the FetchFavicon Chrome Extension to check website favicons on any tab without leaving the page — click the extension icon to extract, preview, and validate favicons instantly.
