What is a favicon?
A favicon (favorite icon) is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, history, and search results next to a website's title. Modern browsers support multiple sizes and formats: favicon.ico (legacy, supports multiple sizes in one file), PNG (widely supported), and SVG (scalable, growing adoption). Apple devices use a 180×180 apple-touch-icon, and PWAs require a 512×512 icon for splash screens. Providing multiple sizes ensures your icon looks crisp on every device and context.
Standard favicon sizes
16×16 — Browser tab icon (classic favicon size).
