How to Use a Site Icon

The site icon, also known as a favicon, will be the official “app icon” for your site. This icon will appear in the browser window, on bookmarks (depending on browser configuration), and only needs to be sized at least 512 pixels wide and tall. If your image is large than 512 pixels, don’t worry, it will be resized to fit.
