What Is This About?
Web sites used to have a favicon.ico, or not.
With the introduction of the apple-touch-icon.png finding “the” icon for a site became more complicated.
This service finds and — if necessary — generates icons for web sites.
Find Icon
URL API
You can just link to an icon using the requiredurl and size parameters:
https://besticon-demo.herokuapp.com/
Demo version & Self hosting
This here is just a demo version of besticon running on Heroku. It will stop working once the free hours per month have been used.
Therefore, if you want to depend on besticon in your own projects you should host your own version as explained over at https://github.com/mat/besticon. It's super easy, really.
Acknowledgments
Fortunately this site is able to rely on several fine pieces of work from others. I'd like to thank- The creators of the delightfully lightweight Pure CSS framework
- Freepik for offering this beautiful icon set
- Ali for helping me with the icon
