What is a Favicon and Why Does Your Website Need One?
A favicon (short for "favorites icon") is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, history, and address bars. It's the visual identity of your website in every browser interaction. Modern websites need multiple favicon sizes to display correctly across all devices and contexts — from tiny 16×16 browser tabs to 512×512 Android PWA splash screens.
Without a proper favicon, your site shows a generic browser icon — making it harder to identify in tabs and bookmarks, reducing brand recognition, and signaling unprofessionalism to visitors.
