A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and on mobile home screens. It helps customers recognise your store at a glance.
Upload your favicon
- Prepare an image of your logo. It must be at least 512px x 512px.
- In your dashboard, go to Design Dashboard > Favicon.
- Upload your image and select Update Favicon Image.
- Review the result. If it does not look right, upload a different image and try again.
Why your favicon might not update straight away
Browsers cache favicons, so changes may not appear immediately. Clear your browser cache to see the updated icon straight away.
Tips for a good favicon
- Keep it simple. Use a single symbol or a cropped part of your logo. Complex designs do not work at small sizes.
- Make it clear at small sizes. Preview your image at favicon size (16px x 16px or 32px x 32px) before uploading.
- Use high contrast. Choose colours that stand out against both light and dark backgrounds.
- Avoid text. Letters become illegible at small dimensions.
- Stay consistent with your brand. Your favicon should look like it belongs to your store.
- Test across devices. Check how it looks on desktop browsers and mobile home screens.
- Use an online favicon generator. Tools like Real Favicon Generator can help you preview and convert your image before uploading.
