Why do you need a favicon?
Brand identity
The favicon is your brand's first visual in the browser tab. It builds recognition and trust with returning visitors.
SEO
Google displays favicons in search results since 2019. A clean favicon improves CTR and perceived credibility.
PWA & Mobile
When a user adds your site to their home screen, the favicon becomes the app icon. 192px and 512px formats required.
Recommended formats
favicon.ico (16+32px), PNG 32px for Chrome, SVG for modern browsers, PNG 180px for Apple touch icon.
FAQ
16×16px is the minimum size shown in browser tabs. But it's recommended to provide 16, 32 and 48px in the ICO file for maximum sharpness.
Place favicon.ico at your site root (example.com/favicon.ico). Browsers look for it automatically. Add <link> tags in <head> for other formats.
SVG is vector-based — stays perfectly crisp on 4K Retina displays. Chrome and Firefox support it. ICO is still needed for universal compatibility.
