A favicon is the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and device home screens. A complete favicon set includes multiple sizes and formats.
A favicon (favorite icon) is a small icon associated with a website, displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, history, and when added to device home screens. Modern favicons require multiple sizes and formats for cross-platform compatibility.
The classic 16x16 ICO file is dead. Modern favicon requirements: 32x32 PNG for browser tabs, 180x180 for Apple Touch Icon, 192x192 and 512x512 for Android/PWA manifests, plus an SVG for scalability. That's 5+ files from one logo. Most developers skip this, leaving the default Next.js or Vite icon — which screams 'I didn't finish the project.'
Favicons are the smallest brand touchpoint with the highest visibility. Users see them in every tab, every bookmark, every PWA install. A missing or default favicon is the #1 tell that a project isn't production-ready. It takes 5 minutes to fix and makes a disproportionate difference in perceived quality.
A complete favicon set: `favicon.ico` (32x32), `favicon-16x16.png`, `favicon-32x32.png`, `apple-touch-icon.png` (180x180), `android-chrome-192x192.png`, `android-chrome-512x512.png`, `site.webmanifest`, and `favicon.svg` for modern browsers.
