Favicon Basics

What is a Favicon?

A Favicon (Favorites Icon) is a website icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmark bars, and history. It's typically a small image of 16×16 pixels or 32×32 pixels. It's an important part of website brand recognition, helping users quickly identify your site among multiple open tabs.

Common Favicon Formats

  • .ico format: The most traditional and widely supported Favicon format, can contain images of multiple sizes and bit depths
  • .png format: Widely supported by modern browsers, supports transparent backgrounds and compression
  • .svg format: Vector format, displays clearly on high-resolution screens, but browser support varies
  • .webp format: Newer format with higher compression efficiency, but not supported by older browsers

Recommended Sizes and Specifications

To ensure optimal display across various devices and browsers, it's recommended to create a Favicon with the following sizes:

16×16 px
Browser Tabs
32×32 px
Taskbar Icons
48×48 px
Windows Explorer
180×180 px
iOS Home Screen

Additionally, it's recommended to use square images and ensure important visual elements are positioned in the center area to accommodate different cropping requirements.

Best Practices and Tips

  • Use simple, clear designs and avoid excessive details since Favicon sizes are small
  • Ensure good visibility on both light and dark backgrounds
  • Use transparent backgrounds to adapt to different browser themes
  • Provide larger size icons for mobile devices (such as 180×180 px Apple Touch Icon)
  • Clear browser cache after updating Favicon to see the latest effect

Website Integration Method

To add a Favicon to your website, you need to add the following code to the <head> section of your HTML document:

<!-- Standard Favicon -->
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">

<!-- ICO format Favicon (for traditional browsers) -->
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">

<!-- Apple Touch Icon (for iOS devices) -->
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">

<!-- Website application manifest (PWA) -->
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">

Ensure the icon files are placed in the root directory or specified path of your website, and update the href attribute to match the actual file location.
