Free Favicon Checker
Enter any website URL to audit its favicon setup — declared icons, Apple touch icons, sizes, manifest icons and the /favicon.ico fallback. Missing tags get a copy-ready fix.
How to use
- Paste any public website URL and hit Check favicon.
- Review every icon the page declares, with live previews and sizes.
- Copy the suggested HTML snippet to fill any gaps (e.g. missing apple-touch-icon).
Why it matters
A missing or broken favicon shows a generic globe in browser tabs, bookmarks and phone home screens — a small trust signal most visitors notice subconsciously. iOS ignores standard favicons entirely and needs its own 180×180 apple-touch-icon, while Android pulls from the web app manifest. One quick check covers all three.
Frequently asked questions
What does the favicon checker test?
It fetches any public webpage and reports every declared icon: standard favicons, Apple touch icons, SVG icons, mask icons, web app manifest icons, plus the conventional /favicon.ico fallback.
Which favicon sizes should a website have?
At minimum: 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs, 180×180 apple-touch-icon for iOS, and 192×192 plus 512×512 PNGs in the web app manifest for Android.
Is my checked URL stored or logged?
No. The check runs once and the URL is not stored, logged, or shared.
Why does my site show a generic icon in tabs?
Usually the favicon file is missing, the link tag points to a wrong path, or the icon is cached by the browser. This checker shows exactly what your page declares so you can spot the problem.
