Favicon Upload Checklist

1 · What’s a favicon?

The tiny square icon that appears in a browser tab, bookmark list, or mobile “Add to Home Screen.” A crisp favicon improves brand recognition and click-thru in a sea of open tabs.

2 · Design Tips

• Think simple. Use one letter or symbol from your logo rather than the full lock-up.
• High contrast. Dark icon on light background or vice-versa—so it stands out among competitors’ tabs.
• No tiny text. Anything smaller than 32 px is unreadable—omit slogans.

3 · Size & Format

• Create artwork at 400 × 400 px (square) for consistency—then export to PNG or ICO.
• After export, compress with cloudconvert.com or similar. Final file should be < 30 KB.
• Smaller is fine (e.g. 128 px²) as long as it’s sharp.

4 · Before You Click Upload

1. Pick the right website. The page shows whichever domain is in session; if it’s wrong, choose the correct site from the Select Website dropdown.
2. Drag or click inside the dotted box to select your .png / .ico file.
3. Wait for the green “Upload successful” toast before leaving the page.

5 · After Upload

• Hard-refresh your live site (Ctrl + F5)—browsers cache favicons aggressively.
• Test on mobile as well; iOS & Android pull the same file.

Following these steps guarantees your favicon is lightweight, legible, and attached to the correct domain—no slow-loads or pixelated icons.
