Return to Google Favicon Snatcher, DokuWiki FavIcon

To easily get any favicon for a website, you can use Google Favicon Snatcher, and how this works is by passing the domain name you want to get the favicon from to the link below:

https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=THE_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE

Do note that the image size is small because it's a favicon.

Favicon is a small image that you can see in the browser tabs, bookmarks, and search engine results. The ideal size of a favicon is 16×16 pixels. Some may use larger dimensions, 32×32 and 48×48 pixels, to suit the retina screens. Favicons can be saved in either .ico or .png file format. Today, browsers support favicons even in .gif and .jpeg formats. Favicons are necessary as they are useful in many ways. If you are impressed with some random website faction, you can download the favicon from the website and use it on your website with some modifications.
