What This Tool Checks

Enter any website URL and our favicon checker analyzes the complete favicon setup. It tests for every format, size, and platform requirement — then shows you exactly what's missing.

Format Detection

Checks for ICO, PNG, and SVG favicon formats. Modern sites should have at least ICO (legacy) and PNG (modern browsers). SVG is optional but recommended for crisp rendering at any size.

Size Validation

Verifies all recommended sizes are present: 16×16, 32×32, 180×180 (Apple Touch Icon), 192×192, and 512×512 (PWA). Missing sizes mean blurry or missing icons on specific devices.

Device Previews

See exactly how your favicon looks in a browser tab, Google search results, and on a phone home screen. Catch visual issues before your users do.

Issue Detection

Identifies specific problems: missing Apple Touch Icon, no favicon.ico at root, wrong sizes, missing link tags. Each issue comes with a clear fix recommendation.

Common Favicon Problems

No favicon.ico at domain root — Browsers request /favicon.ico automatically. If it returns a 404, you get console errors and a generic icon in tabs.
Missing Apple Touch Icon — Without apple-touch-icon.png, iPhones show an ugly page screenshot when users save your site to their home screen.
Only 16×16 favicon — Looks blurry on retina displays, Windows taskbar, and mobile devices. You need at least 32×32 and 180×180 for modern coverage.
No web manifest — Android's "Add to Home Screen" and PWA install prompts require a manifest.json with icon references.
