FAQ

What is Favicon.lol?
Favicon.lol is a simple and efficient service that allows you to retrieve the favicon of any website. Just provide a domain name, and we’ll return the associated favicon. It’s perfect for developers, designers, or anyone who needs quick access to website icons.
What is a favicon?
Favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small icon that represents a website. It typically appears in the browser's address bar, next to the site's name in bookmarks, and on browser tabs.
Why not just use example.com/favicon.ico?
Relying solely on example.com/favicon.ico has several limitations: Traditional favicons are often too small (typically 32x32 pixels) for modern high-resolution displays. Not all websites store their icons at this default location. If the icon isn't found, there's no fallback, which may lead to broken images. Our service searches multiple potential icon locations and chooses the best available option to ensure better results.
Why are favicons important?
