About Favicons
What is a favicon?
A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small icon associated with a website or web page. It appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and other areas to help users identify your site visually.
Why are favicons important?
Favicons enhance brand recognition, improve user experience, and make your site look more professional. They help users quickly identify your site among multiple open tabs or in their bookmarks.
Common favicon formats
- ICO - Traditional favicon format, supported by all browsers
- PNG - Modern format with better quality and transparency support
- SVG - Scalable vector format for crisp display at any size
- Apple Touch Icon - Special format for iOS devices
Best practices
- Keep designs simple and recognizable at small sizes
- Provide multiple sizes for different devices and contexts
- Use transparent backgrounds when appropriate
- Ensure good contrast for visibility in different browser themes
