What is a favicon?
A favicon is the small icon a browser shows next to a page title — in the tab, the bookmarks bar, browsing history, and often beside a result in search. The name is short for “favorites icon”, from the bookmark feature it was built for in 1999. A modern favicon is not a single file but a set: 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs, 180×180 for the Apple touch icon when someone adds a site to an iOS home screen, and 192×192 plus 512×512 for Android and Progressive Web Apps. Any square image can become one, but at 16 pixels only simple marks stay readable — a single letter, a bold shape, or a high-contrast symbol. Browsers accept PNG, SVG and ICO; a multi-size ICO remains the most backwards-compatible choice, while PNG is the most widely used today.
