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.

The page is fetched server-side (browsers block cross-site reads), parsed for favicon declarations and every icon is downloaded and previewed.

Enter a URL above — you will see the Google result card (desktop & mobile), browser tabs in light and dark mode and a complete favicon report.

How the favicon checker works

  1. Paste a URL. Any public website works — no sign-up, no limits beyond fair use.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
