Favicon Grabber
Grab the favicon of any website.
A site's little icon
A favicon is the small icon a website shows in browser tabs and bookmarks, and this fetches the favicon of any site you enter, from live data. It is useful for designers, developers, and anyone who needs a site's icon.
Enter a website to grab its favicon.
What favicons are for
The favicon is a small but important part of a website's identity — that little icon is how people recognise a site at a glance among a row of browser tabs or a list of bookmarks, and a distinctive favicon makes a site instantly identifiable where the tab is too narrow to show its name. Grabbing a site's favicon is useful in several situations: designers and developers gathering icons for a links page, a dashboard, or a directory of sites; anyone building something that displays other websites and wants to show their icons; or simply retrieving an icon for reference. It is a small piece of practical web work that is fiddlier than it should be by hand, since favicons can be in various places and formats, so a tool that fetches them reliably is handy. The fetch uses live data and needs an internet connection. For anyone working with collections of websites who wants their recognisable little icons, a favicon grabber is a simple, practical tool that saves the fiddly job of tracking down each site's icon manually.
