A favicon is a small icon associated with a website. Browsers may display it in tabs, bookmarks, and history.

Keep It Simple

Detailed artwork can become unreadable at favicon sizes. A simplified logo, letter, or compact symbol often works better.

Prepare and Test

PNG and SVG are supported by modern browsers, while ICO remains useful for compatibility. Test the icon in multiple browsers and at small sizes.

Cached Favicons

Browsers can cache favicons aggressively. Test in a private window or another browser if an updated icon does not appear immediately.
