Favicon & Brand Asset Extractor

Extract favicons, app icons, and brand colors from any website — perfect for link previews, directories, and ML datasets.

One API call gives you every icon variant a website exposes: the classic /favicon.ico, HTML <link rel="icon"> entries at every resolution, Apple touch icons for iOS home screens, PWA manifest icons for Android, Microsoft tile images, plus Open Graph and Twitter Card preview images — and the brand's theme color. Build rich link preview cards, bookmark thumbnails, or directory listings in minutes.

Features

• All favicon variants — Standard favicons, shortcut icons, SVG mask icons, /favicon.ico probe
• Apple Touch Icons — All sizes used by iOS/macOS home screens
• PWA Web App Manifest — Parses manifest.json for Android icons, app name, theme color, background color
• Microsoft tiles — msapplication-TileColor and TileImage
• Social previews — Open Graph image and Twitter Card image
• Logo detection — Schema.org logo property + <img class="logo"> heuristics
• Theme color — <meta name="theme-color"> for brand color sampling
• Optional base64 download — Fetch the primary icon bytes when you want to store them offline
• Relative URLs resolved — All returned URLs are absolute and ready to use
• Fast & cheap — minimal compute usage keeps your bill low
