What is the Browserconfig.xml Downloader?

browserconfig.xml tells Windows how to show a website when someone pins it to the Start menu. It lists tile images in different sizes and a tile colour.

We look for the file at /browserconfig.xml and also check the page for a msapplication-config tag that points somewhere else. You then see each tile setting with full links, and can download the XML file.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste the website address, like example.com. You can also paste the full link to the file.
  2. Press the button. We look for browserconfig.xml in the right place on that website. We also follow the msapplication-config tag if the site has one.
  3. Read the simple summary to see what the file says.
  4. Press Download to save the file, or Copy text to paste it anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Do I still need browserconfig.xml?
Not really. It was for Windows 8 and 10 live tiles. Modern sites can skip it, but it does no harm.
What is TileColor?
It is the background colour Windows uses behind the site's tile image.
Why do some sites point to it with a meta tag?
The tag <meta name="msapplication-config"> lets a site keep the file in another folder, or turn it off with "none".
