Adding a favicon
FAQs

A favicon, short for "favorite icon," is a small, usually 16x16 pixel icon that represents your site. It appears in places like a browser tab or bookmarks bar making your site instantly recognizable, even when visitors have multiple tabs open or save your page to their bookmarks.

Wix sites automatically include a standard default favicon, but you can customize it by upgrading to a Premium Plan and connecting your site to a domain.

With a unique favicon, your site stands out, reinforces your brand identity, and builds trust and credibility with your audience.

Adding a favicon

Go to Settings in your site's dashboard.
Click Website settings.
Click Upload Image under Favicon.
Select your favicon and click Choose File.
Note: The size of your favicon must be a multiple of 48px square (such as 48x48, 96x96 etc), unless it is an SVG file. Google will rescale your favicon to 16x16px for search results.
