Frequently Asked Questions on How to Upload or Change your Favicon in WIX
What is a favicon and why is it important for my Wix website?
A favicon is the small icon displayed in the browser tab next to your site title. It enhances brand recognition, improves user experience, and makes your site look professional.
How do I upload a custom favicon in Wix?
Go to your Wix Dashboard > Settings > Website Settings > Favicon, click “Upload Favicon,” select your image (recommended size: 16x16 or 32x32 pixels), and publish your site.
Can I change my favicon without upgrading my Wix plan?
No, uploading a custom favicon is only available on premium Wix plans. You’ll need to upgrade your site to access this feature.
What file format should my Wix favicon be in?
Your favicon should be in .ICO, .PNG, or .JPG format and under 1MB in size. PNG with a transparent background is commonly used for a clean look.
Why isn’t my new favicon showing up in the browser?
Browsers often cache favicons. Clear your browser cache, refresh the page, or try viewing it in incognito mode. It may take a few hours to update globally.
Can I use my logo as a favicon on Wix?
Yes! Just make sure it's a simplified version of your logo—favicons are tiny, so clean and minimal designs work best for site identity visibility.
Does changing my favicon affect my website SEO?
Not directly. But having a consistent visual identity (like a custom favicon) can improve brand trust and user engagement, which benefits SEO indirectly.
How often can I change my favicon on Wix?
As often as you like! Just upload a new image and republish your site. It will overwrite the previous favicon.
Is the favicon the same on desktop and mobile browsers?
Yes, the same favicon appears across desktop and mobile devices, helping maintain a consistent branding experience across all platforms.
Do I need any coding knowledge to add a favicon on Wix?
Nope! Wix makes it super simple—you can add or update your favicon with just a few clicks in the settings. No HTML or CSS required.
