What is a Favicon?

A favicon (favorites icon) is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and history. Originally 16×16 pixels, modern favicons come in multiple sizes for different devices and contexts. A good favicon reinforces brand recognition and helps users identify your site among many open tabs.

Favicon Sizes You Need

16×16: Browser tabs (classic size)
32×32: Windows desktop shortcut, Safari pinned tab
48×48: Windows site icons
64×64: Windows site icons (high DPI)
180×180: Apple Touch Icon for iOS home screen
192×192: Android Chrome add to home screen
512×512: PWA splash screens, high-resolution displays

How to Add Favicons to Your Website

Add these lines to your HTML <head> section:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">

Best Practices for Favicon Design

Keep it simple: Complex designs don't scale down well.
Use bold colors: Muted colors get lost in tabs.
Test at small sizes: Preview at 16×16 before finalizing.
Consider transparency: PNG format supports transparent backgrounds.
Match your brand: Use recognizable brand elements.

Favicon File Formats

ICO: Legacy format, supports multiple sizes in one file.
PNG: Modern standard, best quality, widely supported.
SVG: Scalable, small file size, not universally supported.

Web Manifest for PWAs

Progressive Web Apps need a manifest file referencing icons:

{
  "icons": [
    { "src": "/icon-192.png", "sizes": "192x192", "type": "image/png" },
    { "src": "/icon-512.png", "sizes": "512x512", "type": "image/png" }
  ]
}
