Favicon Checker
Paste any URL and see the browser & search appearance of the site — exactly how its favicon and title show up in Google results and browser tabs, with a full report of the favicon files the site serves.
How the favicon checker works
- Paste a URL. Any public website works — no sign-up, no limits beyond fair use.
- We fetch and inspect. The page HTML is parsed for
<link rel="icon">, apple-touch-icon, mask-icon and site.webmanifest declarations, and every favicon file is downloaded.
- See the real appearance. The Google search result card and browser tabs are rendered with the site's real title, description and favicon, plus a checklist of what is present and what is missing.
Why the favicon matters for search appearance
Google shows a favicon next to every result on mobile and desktop search. A missing, blurry or generic favicon makes a result look unfinished and lowers click-through. A proper favicon package also covers iOS home-screen shortcuts, Android launchers, PWA installs and Windows tiles — exactly what the report below the preview scores.
Favicon Checker FAQ
How does the favicon checker work?
Paste any URL and the tool fetches the page, reads its favicon declarations, downloads the icons and shows exactly how the site looks in Google search results and in browser tabs — plus a report of what is present and what is missing.
Why does my site have no favicon in Google results?
Google needs a square favicon (at least 8×8 px, multiple sizes recommended) that is reachable at your domain and declared with a link tag. If the checker reports a missing favicon you can generate a complete package with the Favicon Generator in one click.
Is the favicon check free?
Yes — the Favicon Checker and the Favicon Generator are both completely free, with no sign-up required.
No favicon or a blurry one? Build a complete package in a minute with the Favicon Generator — from text, an image or any SVG icon from the icon library.
