Full origin of favicon →Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a favicon and a logo?
A logo is a brand's full mark, designed to be legible at large sizes. A favicon is a tiny image, often just an initial or a single symbol taken from the logo, because fine detail disappears at a few pixels across.
Why does my favicon not update?
Browsers store favicons for a long time, so an old one often keeps appearing after the file has been replaced. It usually resolves once the stored copy is cleared or expires.
What size should a favicon be?
Sites commonly supply several sizes in one file or as separate images, because browsers, phone home screens and bookmark lists each display it differently. There is no single required size.
