Frequently Asked Questions
The essentials. Full list on the docs page.
What is BrandIcons and how does it work?
BrandIcons is a simple API service that provides brand icons for any domain. Just use our URL format with a domain name and get the corresponding brand icon. We automatically discover and serve icons from websites and related sources.
How do I use the BrandIcons API?
Use the URL format https://cdn.brandicons.dev/icons/{domain}/{size}?key={YOUR_API_KEY}. Optional ?p= sets a not-found placeholder and ?pl= sets a loading placeholder — both accept built-ins like @image-off and @loader-spin or your own uploaded names.
What's included in the free Community plan?
The Community plan is free forever and includes 500,000 requests per month, 2 API keys, all icon sizes, twelve built-in placeholders, and the global CDN. In exchange, your production site must display a visible attribution link back to BrandIcons (see the next question for details). Want to skip attribution? The Hobby plan ($9/mo) removes the requirement.
What's the attribution requirement on the Community plan?
Add a visible link with the anchor text "Icons by BrandIcons" pointing to https://brandicons.dev on your production site — directly beside or below your logo grid, in the footer alongside other credits, or on an About/Credits page. The link must pass referrer data (no rel="nofollow", no rel="noreferrer") and must be on a publicly accessible URL (not staging or localhost). The exact snippet: <a href="https://brandicons.dev">Icons by BrandIcons</a>. Any paid plan (Hobby and above) removes this requirement.
