Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?: Yes. No hidden costs, no premium tier. Free forever.
How does it find favicons?: Three strategies: first it parses the site's HTML for link tags, then tries common paths like /favicon.ico, then falls back to Google's favicon service.
What if a site has no favicon?: The tool will try all three fallback strategies. If none produce a result, you'll get a 404 response.
Can I use this for link previews?: Absolutely. That's one of the most common use cases. Just use the API URL as an img src.
Do you cache results?: Yes, for 1 hour. This means fast responses on repeated lookups and reduced load on target sites.
