Favicon Best Practices
Source Image
Use a square image with a simple design — complex details get lost at small sizes like 16x16
Multiple Sizes
Include at least 16x16, 32x32 and 180x180 sizes for broad browser and device compatibility
High Contrast
Use bold colors and high contrast so your favicon stands out in browser tabs
Text Favicons
Single letters or short initials make excellent favicons — choose a distinctive color
Brand Consistency
Your favicon should match your brand colors and be instantly recognizable
