Favicons are small brand marks that appear in browser tabs, bookmark bars, and mobile home screens. Extracting them for design audits, reference, or presentation mockups can be done in 3 simple steps:

  1. Enter the Website URL: Type or paste any public website address (e.g. stripe.com or https://github.com) into the input box above.
  2. Inspect Available Icon Sizes: Our extractor scans Google’s high-resolution asset CDN and native domain roots, providing instant previews in 128px, 64px, 32px, and native .ico format.
  3. Download as PNG or Pack into Multi-Res ICO: Click the direct download buttons to save transparent PNG images, or click "Generate Multi-Res .ico" to build a production-ready Windows/browser favicon.ico package.
