How Do I Change My Favicon in Shopify?

Last updated on January 9, 2023 @ 7:05 pm

A favicon is a small, 16×16 image that is shown inside the browser’s location bar and bookmark menu when your site is called up. A favicon can help users more easily identify your site in their browser without having to look at the page title or URL.

If you’re using Shopify, there are a few different ways that you can change your favicon. The first way is to simply upload a new favicon file to your theme. You can do this by going to “Themes” in your Shopify admin, clicking on the “Actions” dropdown for the theme that you’re currently using, and then selecting “Edit code.”

In the Edit Code interface, you’ll want to navigate to the “Assets” folder and then click on the “Upload a file” button in the top right-hand corner. From here, you can upload your new favicon file (it must be in .ico format). Once it has been uploaded, you can save your changes and the new favicon will be live on your site.

Another way to change your favicon in Shopify is by using a free app from the Shopify App Store. One option is Favicon by Pixel Union. This app allows you to upload a new favicon directly from within the Shopify interface, and it also gives you the option to add some basic animation to your favicon (such as a rotating globe).

Once you’ve found an app that suits your needs, simply install it and follow the instructions for changing your favicon. In most cases, this will involve uploading a new .ico file to the app’s interface and then selecting it as your new favicon. After that, your changes will be automatically saved and applied to your shop.

Changing your favicon is a quick and easy way to customize your Shopify store and make it more recognizable to your visitors. By following one of the methods above, you can have a new favicon up and running in no time!

PRO TIP: Warning: The following article contains instructions on how to change your favicon in Shopify. Please be aware that changing your favicon may break existing links to your store.

Conclusion:
Changing your favicon is a quick and easy way to customize your Shopify store and make it more recognizable to your visitors.
