Short, practical summary and a few things the thread missed. asked how to download a site icon; and were right that the page itself is the best place to start, and ’s note about copyright is important. Use the browser’s inspector to find the exact resource the site advertises (modern sites use several icon links and sometimes a web manifest), then retrieve that resource directly. See the MDN reference on link types and icons for the HTML side of this: .

How to locate the image quickly: open Developer Tools, search the page for icon-related link tags or for a manifest file, and follow the href to the actual asset. A typical reference looks like:

<link rel="icon" href="/assets/icon-32.png" sizes="32x32" type="image/png">

If the icon is embedded as a data URI, copy the data and save it with the correct extension. If a manifest is used, open it and check the icons array for the best-resolution file. See general manifest guidance at MDN: Web App Manifest.

If a saved file needs conversion (multi-size ICO container, PNG, or SVG), use a reliable converter/tester such as RealFaviconGenerator to get usable variants. The KeyCDN favicon guide is a good practical reference on modern favicon formats and pitfalls: .

Troubleshooting and cautions: browsers aggressively cache icons — use a private window or hard-refresh to see changes. Some sites use icon fonts or SVG sprites, in which case you may need to extract a glyph or rasterize the SVG. Finally, do not assume an icon is free to reuse: check licensing or ask the site owner before republishing someone else’s trademarked or copyrighted imagery (as reminded).

Fav Icon another website is copyright protected and if you want to make a favicon for your own website use this links and get an animated and still favicon image for your site.

If website has favicon just add "favicon.ico".

For example:

You will be able to download favicon just like any other picture.

Just check the source code and look for 'favicon.ico'
It's most of the time in the same folder as the main site.
You can download it by just going to the link :)
