So..
Yep! It’s a Sketch plugin that will let you insert any website’s favicon, and iOS/Android app’s icon into your design
The plugin was originally made for use in the Product Design team at Similarweb, (I built it for my team when I was running the design team there) and hopefully some of you out there will also find it useful 🙂
The plugin uses the Google Favicon API for Favicons, an [import.io API](http://import.io API) for Google Play app icons & App Store icons, and Clearbit API for company logos.

How to use:
- Install by downloading (download link), unziping, and then double clicking the “get me a favicon.sketchplugin” file.
- In Sketch, Create a 16x16px rectangle for favicons, or a bigger icon (can be up to 512×512 in some cases) for App Store/Google Play icons/Company Logo. Make sure the rectangle is selected.
- Use the shortcuts of cmd+ctrl+shift+f for Favicon,cmd+ctrl+shift+l for logo, cmd+ctrl+shift+G for Google Play icons, cmd+ctrl+shift+a for App Store icons. You can also simply choose from the top menu “Plugins –> Fetch that icon for me will you?” and it will do the trick.
- Enter any URL for favicons, or app name for Google Play/App Store icons. Voila! Enjoy.
