What Is a Favicon?

A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small image that represents your website in browser tabs, bookmarks, history lists, and search results. It is one of the most overlooked but important branding elements of a website. A well-designed favicon makes your site instantly recognizable when users have multiple tabs open.

Common Favicon Sizes

  • 16×16 — Standard browser tab icon
  • 32×32 — Bookmarks bar and Windows taskbar
  • 48×48 — Windows tiles and shortcuts
  • 180×180 — Apple touch icon for iOS home screen bookmarks

Tips for Best Results

  • Use a simple logo or icon with high contrast
  • Avoid detailed photos that become unrecognizable at 16×16
  • Make sure the center of your image contains the most important visual element
  • Test how your favicon looks in both light and dark browser themes

If your source image needs cleanup first, try the Image Resizer to get a square crop, or convert it to PNG for transparency support.
