Frequently Asked Questions

What is a favicon?

A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small icon displayed in the browser tab, bookmarks bar, and address bar next to your website's name. It's typically a 16×16 or 32×32 pixel .ico file that helps users identify your site at a glance.

Which image formats are accepted?

You can upload PNG, JPEG, JPG, and GIF images. PNG with a transparent background works best for favicons. The image will be automatically resized to the selected icon dimensions.

Which size should I choose?

The most commonly supported size is 16×16 px (classic browser tab). Use 32×32 for taskbar pinning and 48×48 for Windows shortcut icons. For full compatibility, most developers generate multiple sizes.

How do I add the favicon to my website?

Download the .ico file, upload it to your web server root directory, then add <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico"> to the <head> section of your HTML. Most browsers will also pick it up automatically from the root directory.
