Favicon Checker
Check whether a site's favicon.ico and apple-touch-icon actually load, plus a best-effort manifest check, right in your browser.
🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.

How Favicon Checker works
- Enter a website URL and choose which checks to run.
- The tool probes favicon.ico and apple-touch-icon directly in your browser — these two checks are reliable for any HTTPS site.
- Manifest and homepage tag checks also run, but show as "unknown" rather than a false "missing" if the site blocks cross-origin requests, which most sites do by default.
- Review the results with a live device preview of whichever icon was found.
FAQ
Does it crawl the website yet?
Yes, for what a browser can genuinely check without a server: favicon.ico and apple-touch-icon are tested directly. Manifest and homepage-tag scanning also run, but only succeed if the target site allows cross-origin requests.
Why check multiple favicon sizes?
Browsers, mobile devices, and pinned tabs can use different icon files and metadata.
Why do some checks show a question mark instead of pass or fail?
That means the check ran but couldn't get a definitive answer — usually because the site's server doesn't send cross-origin permission headers, a default security setting on most sites. It's not necessarily missing, just unverifiable from a browser-only tool.
Which checks are always reliable?
favicon.ico and apple-touch-icon, since those load as images — a check that works across origins without needing special permission from the target site, unlike the manifest and tag checks.
