A favicon is a small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars next to a site's name. It helps users identify your site quickly among open tabs.

What favicon sizes do I need?

At minimum, provide 16x16 and 32x32 for browser tabs. Add 180x180 for Apple touch icons, and consider 192x192 and 512x512 for Android/PWA manifests.

Why is my favicon not showing?

Common causes: the favicon path is wrong, the file format is not supported, the file is larger than expected, or caching is serving an old version. Clear your browser cache and verify the path with this tool.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. All Skybin developer tools are free with no account, API key, or usage limits.

Does my data get sent to a server?

No. Favicons are fetched directly from the target domain by your browser. No lookup data is sent to Skybin's servers.

Can I use this on mobile?

Yes. The tool works in modern mobile browsers, though a desktop screen is easier for comparing favicon sizes.

How is this different from the Favicon Generator?

Favicon Preview looks up and displays existing favicons from websites. Favicon Generator creates new favicons from an uploaded image.

Are there keyboard shortcuts?

Press Enter in the domain input to trigger a check. Download and Copy buttons provide one-click actions.

Does Skybin store my lookups?

No. We do not log domain lookups or results. Refreshing the page clears in-memory state.

What is a favicon?

A favicon (favorites icon) is a small icon associated with a website, displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars. It is typically a 16x16 or 32x32 pixel ICO or PNG file, though modern browsers support various sizes and formats including SVG.

Why check favicons?

Checking a site's favicon helps you verify branding consistency, debug missing or broken icons, and understand what sizes and formats a site uses across browsers and devices. It is useful for web developers, designers, and QA testing.

What sizes do I need?

Modern favicons need multiple sizes: 16x16 and 32x32 for browser tabs, 180x180 for Apple touch icons, 192x192 for Android/PWA, and 512x512 for splash screens. Using an ICO file with embedded sizes or a manifest.json is the most compatible approach.

Why use Favicon Preview online?

Favicon Preview in the browser saves context switching: no CLI install, no browser DevTools needed, and instant visual feedback. It is ideal for debugging, design reviews, and quick checks during development.
