Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a favicon from a website?+
Enter the site's URL (e.g. github.com) in the Favicon Fetcher. The tool requests the page, scans its HTML for <link rel="icon"> tags, and also checks /favicon.ico, then lists every icon size it finds.
Is favicon fetching free?+
Yes — single fetch, batch fetch, and the favicon generator are all free with no signup. You can also hotlink any icon through our favicon embed.
Can I embed a site's favicon directly in my page?+
Yes. Use the URL https://favicon.run/favicon?domain=example.com&sz=128 in an <img> tag. We serve and cache the icon, so you don't have to host it.
