🖥️ System requirements

favgrab runs on most modern Windows systems. We support Windows 10 and Windows 11. Your computer needs at least 4GB of RAM for smooth operation. You also need a stable internet connection to fetch the icons from the websites you choose. No extra software installations are required to run this application.

🖼️ Supported file formats

favgrab converts icons into three major formats. PNG files work well when you need a transparent background for your design. WebP files provide small file sizes for web developers. JPG files offer wide compatibility across all operating systems. You decide which format suits your current project best.

📁 Manage your icon library

You can use favgrab to build a local library of website icons. Storing these files on your machine keeps your work fast. You do not need to rely on live links that might break later. Save your icons into organized folders by category, such as social media, news, or tools. This habit helps you keep your design assets clean and easy to find.

⚙️ Troubleshooting common issues

If the app fails to show any icons, check your internet connection first. Some websites block automated software from reading their files. If a site returns no results, try a different website to verify your connection works.

If the app does not open, ensure you downloaded the latest version from the link provided above. Restart your computer if the app remains unresponsive. Clearing your temporary files can also resolve startup errors. Please ensure your Windows system updates are current to maintain compatibility.

🔒 Privacy and security

favgrab runs locally on your computer. The app connects to websites only when you type a link and click the search button. We do not track your search history or your personal files. Your downloaded icons remain on your hard drive. No external server collects your data while you use this tool.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Use the full website link, including "https://" for the most reliable results.
  • If an icon looks blurry, try a smaller size setting.
  • Create a specific folder named "Icons" on your desktop to keep your downloads organized.
  • Check for updates periodically on the download page to get the latest features.
