What Size Should a Squarespace Favicon Be?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:21 am

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. It is a good way to give your site some extra branding and personality, and can be especially useful if your site’s title is not easily distinguishable from other sites.

When creating a favicon for your Squarespace site, we recommend using an image that is at least 512px x 512px. This will ensure that the image looks sharp on high-resolution displays. The favicon will be automatically resized to 16×16 when displayed in the browser, so there’s no need to create a separate image.

PRO TIP: When creating a favicon for your website, be sure to follow the recommended size and format specifications provided by Squarespace. Using an incorrect size or format for your favicon may result in your website not displaying correctly, or not being compatible with certain browsers.

If you’re using the Squarespace Favicon Generator, we recommend starting with an image that is 1024px x 1024px. This will give you the best results when generating your favicon.

When it comes to choosing the right size for your favicon, bigger is better!
