SEO done right.

Use Keupera to find keywords, write content and get backlinks — autonomously.

Favicons show up in browser tabs, bookmarks, history, and — since 2019 — directly beside your result in mobile search. They are a small brand surface with outsized visibility.

Favicon requirements for search

Google requires a favicon that is a multiple of 48 pixels square, served from a stable URL, crawlable (not blocked in robots.txt), and visually representative of the brand. It must also stay put: changing it frequently causes it to be dropped from results.

The same icon should be referenced from your root layout and from your web app manifest so browsers, search engines and installed-app surfaces all resolve to one image.

Practical uses for fetching

Building integration or partner directories, comparison tables, link dashboards and competitive audits — anywhere you need a recognisable mark next to a domain without manually collecting dozens of assets.

Check licensing before republishing a third-party mark commercially; a favicon is still a trademark.

Frequently Asked Questions

A favicon (short for 'favorite icon') is a small icon associated with a website, displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars. It helps users quickly identify and navigate to your site.

This tool checks multiple sources to find a website's favicon: first the standard /favicon.ico location, then falls back to reliable favicon services like Google's favicon API if the direct method doesn't work.

Favicons are typically copyrighted by the website owner. While you can download them for personal reference or bookmarking, using them commercially or representing them as your own may violate copyright. Always check the website's terms of use.

Some reasons: the website doesn't have a favicon, it's blocked by CORS policies, the URL is incorrect, or the site is down. Try the alternative URLs shown in the results section.
