What this favicon downloader does

This favicon downloader is a free browser tool for pulling the small icon a website shows in browser tabs and bookmarks. Paste a URL into the box at the top of the page and ExtractPics opens the page in a real browser, then finds the images it loads. That includes the site's icon files: the link rel=icon and apple-touch-icon assets plus the classic /favicon.ico. You preview what it finds, pick the icons you want, and download them.

Because it works as a favicon extractor on the live page, it catches the icons a site actually serves, not a guess. When a site offers an icon in several sizes, you can grab the largest one. Save a single file or download everything as a ZIP. There is no account to create and nothing to install, and it runs the same on a phone as it does on a laptop.

What the favicon downloader pulls

Every icon a site declares

It reads the link rel=icon and apple-touch-icon tags plus the classic /favicon.ico, so you see the real icons the site ships rather than a guessed path.

The largest size on offer

When a site publishes its icon in several sizes for different devices, you can grab the biggest one instead of settling for the 16-pixel tab version.

Why use a favicon downloader

A favicon is the tiny image you see next to a page title in a browser tab and in your bookmarks list. Sometimes you need a clean copy of one: to check what a competitor uses, to rebuild a brand asset you lost, to add a recognizable icon to a link directory, or just to see an icon at full resolution. Hunting through page source for the right rel=icon tag is slow, and the file path is often buried or hashed.

This tool does that digging for you. It reads the live page the way a browser does and surfaces the favicon, the apple-touch-icon, and any /favicon.ico in one place, in the formats the site actually ships. You decide what to keep. One caveat worth stating plainly: it can only reach public URLs, so a page behind a login or a private network will not load.

Where a site's favicon comes from

A modern site usually declares its icon in more than one place. The tool checks each and shows you what it finds.

SourceWhat it isTypical format
link rel=iconThe declared tab iconPNG, SVG, or ICO
apple-touch-iconHome-screen icon on iOSPNG, often 180px
/favicon.icoThe classic fallbackICO, often multi-size

Frequently asked questions

If your question is not covered here, send us a message and include the page, file, or result type you are working with.

How do I download a website's favicon?

Copy the site's URL, paste it into the tool at the top of this page, and run it. ExtractPics loads the page in a real browser, finds its icon files, and shows them to you. Select the favicon you want and save it, or download the whole set as a ZIP.

Can I extract a favicon from any website?

You can extract the favicon from any public website the tool can open. It reads the page the way a browser does and finds the icon and favicon assets it loads. Pages locked behind a login, a paywall, or a private network cannot be reached, so those will not work.

What favicon sizes and formats can I download?

It returns the icons a site actually serves, commonly ICO, PNG, and SVG. Many sites publish their favicon in several sizes for different devices, and when they do you can grab the largest one available.

Is the favicon downloader free, and do I need to install anything?

It is free with no signup and no browser extension. Everything runs in the page, so you can use it on a phone, tablet, or desktop without installing software.

What is a favicon and why would I download one?

A favicon is the small icon a site shows in browser tabs, bookmarks, and history. People download one to recover a lost brand asset, study what a competitor uses, add an icon to a link directory, or inspect it at full size.

Does it get the highest-resolution icon?

When a site offers its favicon in more than one size, the tool surfaces those options so you can pick the largest. If a site only ships a single small icon, that smaller file is the best it can return, since the tool can only download what the site actually publishes.

How can I find specific images?

After a scan, use the format and size filters on the results toolbar. That is the fastest way to drop icons, skip tiny files, or keep only JPGs. Filenames show on each card, so you can scan for a product name or a known asset. Tick the ones you want and leave the rest. You do not have to download the whole pile.

What can I do with the results?

Preview every image in a grid. Filter by type or size. Copy one URL or copy all of them. Download a single file, or select several and get a ZIP. Quick Extract covers the page you pasted. Deep Extract follows a few linked pages when the set is paginated. There is no account required to try this.

Can I download multiple images at once?

Yes. Select the images you want, then use Download selected to pack them into a ZIP. Large sets take longer because each file is fetched from its original host. A few files may be missing from the ZIP if that host blocks the request. Download those ones individually, or open them in a new tab.

The extraction does not work. Why?

The usual causes: the page is not public, it sits behind a login, or it is so slow or heavy that it never finishes loading. Very large infinite-scroll feeds can also time out. Try again in a minute, try a shorter URL (a single product page instead of a huge homepage), or switch between Quick Extract and Deep Extract. If the site itself is down, we cannot invent images that never loaded.

The download does not work. Why?

Some sites stop other pages from hotlinking their files. The preview may say it failed, or a ZIP may skip that image. Right-click the preview if you have one, or open the image URL in a new tab and save it from there. If nothing downloads at all, write to us from the contact page with the URL you tried.

How does the favicon downloader work?

Each run opens your URL in a headless Chrome browser. We wait for the page to render, run its JavaScript, and scroll so lazy-loaded pictures appear. Then we collect img tags, srcset sources, CSS backgrounds, picture elements, and SVG. Tracking pixels and broken URLs are stripped before you see the grid.

Does it work with dynamic websites?

Yes. The page is viewed the same way you would view it in Chrome. Scripts run. Network requests get a chance to finish. Infinite-scroll and lazy-load galleries are the reason we bother with a real browser instead of reading static HTML. If a picture only exists after you scroll, we try to load it before collecting.

How many images are extracted?

We scroll the page for several seconds and keep what loaded in that window — typically the first stretch of an infinite feed, not an endless crawl of the whole internet. Deep Extract can follow up to three linked pages. Duplicates and invalid files are removed. A 12-photo product page often returns all 12. A social feed that never stops scrolling will not.

Can I extract from multiple URLs at once?

Yes. Switch to Bulk Extract, paste more than one URL, and run it. Images from every address land in the same results grid, so you can filter and download them together. Each URL uses one global credit.
