How It Works

Parses the target page HTML for <link rel="icon"> tags
Falls back to common paths (/favicon.ico, /apple-touch-icon.png)
Final fallback to Google's favicon service
Optionally resizes to requested dimensions (PNG output)
Results cached for 1 hour

Response

Returns the favicon image directly with appropriate Content-Type header. If size is specified, output is always PNG.

404 if no favicon found for the URL.
