<p><strong><a href="http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=simonwillison.net">Google&#x27;s undocumented favicon to png convertor</a></strong></p> Showing the favicon of a domain next to a link is a really nice trick, but it’s slightly tricky to achieve as IE won’t display a .ico file if you link to it from an img element, so you need to convert the images server-side. This undocumented Google API does that for you, meaning it’s much easier to add favicons as a feature to your site. <p><small></small>Via <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6ytnt/googles_free_favicon_png_online_converter/">reddit.com</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/apis">apis</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/favicons">favicons</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/google">google</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/png">png</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/undocumented">undocumented</a></p>
