FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch favicons for a domain automatically?▼

Fetch favicons automatically by running the Skill with a domain or URL as input. It retrieves site icons from multiple sources—Google, DuckDuckGo, and direct domain lookup—with automatic fallback to maximize success rates and returns PNG or ICO format files.

Can I extract favicons from multiple domains at once?▼

Yes, the Skill processes multiple domains with cross-source retrieval and automatic fallback. Pass each domain or URL to fetch favicons in batch, with platform-friendly exit codes indicating success or failure for each source.

What formats do favicons get saved as?▼

Favicons are saved as PNG or ICO depending on the source retrieved. The Skill normalizes output across Google, DuckDuckGo, and direct sources, ensuring compatibility for dashboards, bookmarks, and UI elements.

Does the Skill work with full URLs or just domain names?▼

The Skill accepts both full URLs and domain names. It automatically extracts and normalizes the domain from URLs, then retrieves favicons using that normalized domain across all configured sources.

What happens if a favicon isn't found from the primary source?▼

The Skill automatically falls back to secondary and tertiary sources when the primary fails. It tries Google, then DuckDuckGo, then direct retrieval to maximize the chance of finding a site icon.
