Besticon demo

The Favicon Finder

A service for finding icons on web sites

Find icons

Enter a domain to inspect the icons found for a web site.

Try these demo sites: bing.com, github.com, instagram.com, reddit.com.

What is this about?

Web sites used to have a favicon.ico, or not. With the introduction of apple-touch-icon.png, finding “the” icon for a site became more complicated. This service finds and, if necessary, generates icons for web sites.

URL API

You can link directly to an icon using the required url and size parameters.

/icon?url=github.com&size=80..120..200
