A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small 16x16 pixel icon that appears next to your website's title in a browser tab. While tiny, it's a critical piece of branding.
Keep It Simple
At 16x16 pixels, complex logos will turn into a blurry, unrecognizable mess. The best favicons are highly simplified versions of your logo. Use a single letter, a distinct shape, and high-contrast colors.
- Avoid using text (other than a single initial).
- Use the entire canvas; don't leave too much empty padding.
- Ensure it looks good on both light and dark mode browser themes.

Modern Requirements
Today, you don't just need a 16x16 `.ico` file. You need high-resolution PNGs (192x192, 512x512) for Android home screens, and specific "apple-touch-icons" for iOS devices. A good generator will create all these assets for you automatically.
