How to Add a Favicon on Your Squarespace Website
A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and shortcuts. Adding a favicon strengthens your brand visibility and makes your site easily recognizable.
Step 1: Prepare your favicon file
Use a square image, ideally 100 x 100 pixels or larger.
Formats supported: PNG, JPEG, ICO, or SVG.
Keep it simple and clear, as it will be very small in the browser.
Step 2: Log into your Squarespace account
Go to your Squarespace dashboard and select the site you want to edit.
Step 3: Access the Favicon settings
Navigate to Settings → Website (the first tab) → Favicon. This is the dedicated place in Squarespace to manage your site’s favicon.
Step 4: Upload your favicon
Click Add a Favicon or Replace Favicon if one exists.
Upload your prepared image.
Squarespace will automatically resize it as needed.
Step 5: Save changes
Click Save in the upper left corner to confirm your favicon. Once saved, it will appear in browser tabs and bookmarks shortly.
Bonus Tips
Test your favicon in different browsers and devices to ensure clarity.
Keep it consistent with your brand’s primary colors or logo for instant recognition.
Updating the favicon may take a few minutes to reflect across all browsers due to caching.
