What is a favicon and why do I need one?

A favicon is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results next to your website name. It helps users identify your site quickly and adds a professional touch to your web presence.

What favicon sizes should I include?

The standard sizes are 16x16 and 32x32 for browser tabs, 48x48 for Windows taskbar, 180x180 for Apple Touch Icon, and 192x192 and 512x512 for Android and PWA manifests.

What is the difference between ICO and PNG favicons?

ICO files can contain multiple sizes in a single file and are supported by all browsers including older versions. PNG favicons are simpler and lighter but require separate files for each size. Modern best practice is to include both formats.
