Why Is My Favicon Blurry on Wix?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:51 am

If you’ve ever created a website, you know that one of the first things you need to do is choose a favicon. A favicon is the little icon that appears in the tab next to your website’s title.

While you can create a favicon using any image editor, if you want to create a truly professional website, you’ll want to use a vector graphic. Vector graphics are images that are made up of polygons, rather than pixels. This means that they can be scaled to any size without losing quality.

PRO TIP: If your favicon appears blurry on Wix, it is likely because the file you are using is not the correct size or format. Make sure your favicon is either a .png or .jpg file that is 16×16 pixels in size.

Fortunately, there’s an easy fix for this problem. All you need to do is open your favicon in an image editor and export it as a .ico file. The .ico format does support transparency, so your favicon will look crisp and clear on Wix (and any other website).
