What is a favicon?

The favicon is this little icon in the tabs of desktop browsers. Simple enough! However, this is not the full story. The favicon has several more usages depending on the browser, platform, and device.

For example, the favicon is not visible when visiting a website from Android Chrome... But it is when Chrome displays miniatures of the opened sites for picking one.

In addition to the classic "tab" icon, the favicon serves other purposes. The most common one is to act as a high-resolution icon for mobile devices when creating a shortcut to a website on the home screen.

Since a few years year, the favicon is also used by Google and most search engines in their result pages.

Why your site needs a favicon

A favicon has a lot to do with branding. It is often the first element a visitor sees. Because the favicon is the logo of the website, this is a first great opportunity to make a good impression. Even if the visitor leaves after just a few seconds, he will probably have noticed the favicon.

This is especially true since the appearance of the favicon in the Google result pages: someone can see the favicon of a website without even visiting it.

Understanding Favicon Elements

SVG & PNG

The PNG and SVG favicons are the most important ones nowadays. With these two formats, the favicon appears in browser tabs and Google result pages. SVG is the modern standard.

Apple Touch Icon

Another must-have. It serves as the "high resolution" icon. Used by iOS, but also by Android if there is no web app manifest.

favicon.ico

The legacy format. It is strictly needed for IE11 support today, or when a visitor is viewing a direct PDF file.

Web App Manifest

Android uses the Web App Manifest (site.webmanifest) to define icons, names, and theme colors for installed PWA applications.

Common Questions

How many Touch icons do I need?
