Icon Horse
Icon Horse retrieves a website’s favicon and other site icons on demand.
About Icon Horse
Icon Horse returns the favicon or other site icon for a domain name, using a single URL that can be placed in an img tag. Enter a domain such as signal.org, and the service fetches the best available icon for that site.
The homepage says that when no icon is available, the service serves a fallback icon, including when the website does not exist or cannot be reached. Responses are cached. The homepage lists a free plan with up to 1,000 icons per month, and states that no cookies or tracking are involved. Pro and Enterprise tiers are also described, with features such as customized fallbacks, private mode with no logs, and self-hosting listed for those tiers. The source does not give pricing details beyond those plan descriptions, and the service is not open source.
