A favicon is a small graphic that appears to the left of the page title at the top of your browser window when browsing a website. By default, your store's favicon will be the BigCommerce logo. However, we recommend replacing it with an image related to your brand.

A customized favicon helps the site look professional. It is a detail visitors of the site will notice, and it is referenced whenever your store's webpages are bookmarked.

Favicons are typically located next to the website title, in the address bar, or beside a website in a list of bookmarks

 
 

Uploading a Custom Favicon

To upload a custom favicon for your store, you'll first want to generate the image itself. Its dimensions should be 16x16 or 32x32 pixels and it must be saved in ICO, JPG, GIF, or PNG format.

 

Pro Tip! For assistance creating a favicon from a larger image, you can use an online favicon generator. Most favicon generators are free to use directly online. Once you have a favicon image saved to your computer, follow the steps below to apply it to your store.

Go to Storefront › Logo and scroll down to the Favicon area.
