The favicon downloader works like this: it collects every favicon a site declares - its icon link tags, web app manifest icons and the classic well-known paths - verifies each is a real image, and downloads them as files. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.
How to use the Favicon Downloader
Type a domain like example.com and press "Find favicons".
Compare the sources found: the icons the site declares itself, its web app manifest icons, and the classic well-known paths - all listed with size and type.
Preview each icon in the results grid and use Open to inspect it at full resolution.
Press Save on the icon you want - it saves to your device with a proper filename and the correct file extension.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the downloaded icon blurry?
The site only ships a 16px icon. Pick the largest entry in the list - every card shows its size and type so the sharpest source is easy to spot.
Where do the listed icons come from?
The site's own HTML - the icon link tags it declares, its web app manifest icons, and the classic well-known paths like /favicon.ico. Every entry is confirmed to be a real image before it appears.
Which version should I download?
The largest PNG - modern platforms prefer crisp PNGs, and the biggest one carries the most detail for reuse at any size.
Why does a site show no favicon at all?
It genuinely declares none - no icon links, no manifest icons, nothing at the standard paths. The result honestly reports the absence instead of guessing.
