Public icon extraction

Favicon Extractor and Icon Downloader

Discover the SVG, ICO, PNG, Apple, PWA, and manifest icons a public website actually exposes, then download the working files with their source URLs and audit report.

Only public web files are requested. Private and local network addresses are blocked. The submitted and resolved public URL—without its query string—is retained for up to 90 days for service review; IP addresses and user agents are not added to this activity record.

Extraction provenance and downloadable file inventory.

What the favicon extractor discovers and downloads

The extractor follows public icon declarations from the submitted page and its web app manifest, then packages the files it can retrieve with an inventory of their original URLs. It is designed for migration, research, and asset recovery—not for bypassing access controls or guessing private files.

01

Discovery order and provenance

The report separates explicit rel=icon candidates, Apple touch icons, manifest entries, and the conventional root favicon.ico probe. Source URLs stay attached to each result, so you can tell whether an icon came from page metadata, a manifest, or a fallback request.

02

Downloadable archive contents

Successfully retrieved public SVG, ICO, PNG, and other declared image files are saved with collision-safe names. The archive also contains a report that records final URLs, response details, detected formats, dimensions where available, and retrieval errors.

03

Public-network safety boundary

Localhost, private address ranges, and non-public destinations are blocked. Redirects are checked as part of the request chain. The tool does not sign in, execute page JavaScript, access a CMS media library, or recover an icon available only to an authenticated session.

How to use an extracted favicon package responsibly

The existence of a publicly downloadable image does not transfer copyright or trademark permission. Use extraction to recover assets you control, document a compatibility review, or inspect how a site declares icons. Obtain permission before reusing another organization’s artwork.

Review the inventory before deployment. A source site may expose obsolete, duplicate, low-resolution, or broken candidates alongside the current icon. Choose the file supported by the report, inspect its actual pixels, and generate a fresh controlled package when the extracted set lacks Apple, PWA, maskable, or multi-frame ICO coverage.

What the extractor cannot prove

A successful download proves that the tested public URL returned bytes at that moment. It does not prove that a browser selected the asset, that a search engine will display it, or that an old cached icon has refreshed. Inline data URLs, icons injected only after client-side execution, bot-specific responses, and files behind authentication can fall outside the discovery model.
