What Is a Favicon?

A favicon (short for "favorites icon") is the small image that represents your website in browser tabs, bookmarks, history lists, and search results. It was introduced by Internet Explorer 5 in 1999 and has since become a standard part of every website.

Despite being tiny, favicons play an important role in brand recognition. When users have dozens of tabs open, your favicon is the only visual cue that helps them find your site. A missing or generic favicon makes your site look unfinished and less trustworthy.

Favicon Sizes You Need in 2026

Modern websites need multiple favicon sizes to look sharp across all devices and contexts. Here is what each size is used for:

  • 16x16: The classic browser tab icon. This is the smallest and most commonly displayed size.
  • 32x32: Used on retina displays in browser tabs and also appears in Windows taskbar shortcuts.
  • 48x48: Used by Windows for desktop shortcuts and the taskbar when pinning a website.
  • 64x64: Used by Windows as a site icon in certain contexts and some RSS readers.
  • 128x128: Required for Chrome Web Store listings if you build a Progressive Web App or browser extension.
  • 180x180 (Apple Touch Icon): Used when someone adds your website to their iPhone or iPad home screen. Without this, iOS shows a screenshot of your page instead.
  • 192x192 (Android Chrome): The icon Android uses when a user adds your site to their home screen or installs your PWA.
  • 512x512 (PWA): Required in your web app manifest for PWA splash screens and app store listings. This is the largest standard size.

How to Add a Favicon to Your Website

Adding favicons is straightforward. Upload your source image using this tool, download the generated sizes, and place them in your website's root directory (or any public folder). Then copy the HTML snippet this tool provides and paste it into the <head> section of your HTML.

If you use a framework like Next.js, place your favicon files in the public folder. For WordPress, most themes have a favicon upload option in the Customizer under Site Identity.

For best results, start with a square source image that is at least 512x512 pixels. Simple logos and icons work better than complex photographs because favicons are displayed at very small sizes.
