Favicon From URL

Extract every declared favicon from an HTML document — <link rel="icon" / shortcut icon / apple-touch-icon / mask-icon>, <meta name="msapplication-TileImage">, and the /favicon.ico convention as a final fallback. Resolves to absolute URLs when a base URL is provided.

About Favicon From URL

Favicon From URL scans an HTML document and pulls out every favicon it declares, covering link rel icon and shortcut icon, apple-touch-icon, mask-icon, the msapplication-TileImage meta tag, and the classic /favicon.ico fallback. Reach for it when you need to know exactly which icons a page offers, for example when building a link-preview feature or auditing a brand's icon set. It runs in your browser on HTML you paste in, so nothing is fetched or sent on your behalf.

Common uses

  • Discovering every icon a site declares when building a bookmark or link-preview thumbnail feature
  • Auditing whether a page ships a proper apple-touch-icon for iOS home-screen bookmarks
  • Checking that a redesigned site updated all of its declared icon references, not just the main one
  • Resolving relative icon paths to absolute URLs by supplying the page's base URL
  • Confirming a site still relies on the /favicon.ico convention versus explicit link tags
  • Collecting icon candidates from saved page source for a competitor or brand inventory

Frequently asked questions

What do I paste in?

The HTML of a page (View Source, then copy). The tool parses the markup and lists the declared favicons as JSON.

Does it fetch the URL for me?

No. It parses HTML you provide. Supplying a base URL lets it resolve relative icon paths to absolute URLs, but it does not make network requests.

Which icon declarations does it find?

link rel icon and shortcut icon, apple-touch-icon, mask-icon, the msapplication-TileImage meta tag, and the /favicon.ico fallback.

Is my HTML uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing happens entirely in your browser, so the page source stays on your device.

Why does it include /favicon.ico even when no link tag exists?

Browsers fall back to /favicon.ico by convention, so it is listed as a last-resort candidate.
