What is a favicon?

A favicon is the small website icon commonly displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and other interface locations. It helps users recognize a website visually.

Choose a simple source image

Favicons are displayed very small, so simple shapes and recognizable logos usually work better than photographs containing fine detail.

Generate the favicon

Upload a suitable source image and generate the favicon files required by your website. After deployment, browser caching may mean an updated icon does not appear immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image should I use for a favicon?

A simple square logo or icon with strong contrast usually works well.

Why does my old favicon still appear?

Browsers often cache favicons, so clearing the cache or waiting can be necessary after an update.
