The favicon API
for sharp icons

This favicon API fetches SVGs, web manifests, and high-resolution touch icons — then normalizes everything to a sharp 256×256 PNG. One REST call per site; CDN-backed and built for production.

Try:

One endpoint.
Perfect icons.

Pass any URL. Get back a CDN-hosted 256×256 PNG. The source type in the response tells you whether we found an SVG, manifest icon, Apple touch icon, or fell back to the root /favicon.ico.

How it works

Built for quality,
not just convenience

01

SVG-first quality

We scan for SVG icons, web app manifests, and Apple touch icons — giving you the sharpest image possible at any size.

02

CDN-cached globally

Favicons are processed once and served from DigitalOcean Spaces CDN. First request fetches fresh; subsequent requests return instantly.

03

Reliable fallback chain

Five-level fallback: SVG → manifest → apple-touch-icon → PNG → ICO. You always get an icon, never a broken image.

04

256px normalized output

Every icon is processed with Lanczos3 resampling and output as a crisp 256×256 PNG with transparency preserved.
