Favicons: The Small Icons That Define Your Website's Identity

Key Takeaways

  • Favicons appear in browser tabs, bookmarks, mobile home screens, and search results.
  • Modern websites need multiple favicon sizes: 16×16, 32×32, 180×180 (Apple), and 512×512 (PWA).
  • SVG favicons are increasingly supported and scale perfectly to any size.

A favicon (favorite icon) is the small icon that represents your website in browser tabs, bookmarks, and app shortcuts. Despite being tiny, favicons play an outsized role in brand recognition and user experience. Modern web standards require multiple icon sizes and formats to cover browsers, mobile devices, and progressive web apps.
