Site Icons differ slightly from favicons. A true favicon is an .ico format image that generally appears only in a couple of places like a browser address bar or browser tab, next to the site or page title. A Site Icon may be used in a variety of places to help identify and brand a site, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Browser address bar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Browser tab, next to the site or page title<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beside a bookmark on desktops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On a user\u2019s mobile device if the site is bookmarked or added to the user\u2019s home screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Site Icons are used in a variety of places; to ensure good image quality, regardless of where it appears, a site icon should be square and at least 512 pixels wide and tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">A modern, user-friendly website can boost your online engagement and help build your business. Contact our Professional Web Design Team today for a beautiful, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/services\/wordpress-website-design\">custom WordPress website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding Site Icon to Your website:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>In the dashboard, go to Appearance &gt; Customize &gt; Site Identity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, click on the <strong>Select Image<\/strong> button under Site Icon and upload the Site Icon. If the Site Icon was uploaded previously, select that existing image instead of uploading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>Select<\/strong> button in the lower right corner to take you back to the Site Identity screen.<br><br>If the image isn\u2019t 512px X 512px, you will be presented with an option to crop the image so it is 512px X 512px. Complete this step to be taken back to the Site Identity screen.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Back on the Site Identity screen, click the <strong>Publish<\/strong> button at the top of the panel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the live site, and you should now see the icon next to the site\/page title on the browser tab. Depending on the browser used, you may see the icon next to the browser address bar as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Note, if you are changing from a favicon.ico to a Site Icon, you will need to either rename the favicon.ico file on the server or delete it. Additionally, the old favicon.ico file may be cached in the browser for a couple of days as well, and you will need to come back and check the Site Icon after a couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"396\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/customize.jpg\" alt=\"customize\" class=\"wp-image-61538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/customize.jpg 396w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/customize-300x145.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"348\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/site-identity.jpg\" alt=\"site identity\" class=\"wp-image-61543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/site-identity.jpg 348w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/site-identity-300x269.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"804\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/select.jpg\" alt=\"select\" class=\"wp-image-61541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/select.jpg 804w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/select-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/select-768x517.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/imh-favicon-1024x518.jpg\" alt=\"imh favicon\" class=\"wp-image-61539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/imh-favicon-1024x518.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/imh-favicon-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/imh-favicon-768x389.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/imh-favicon-1536x778.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/imh-favicon.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/site-icon-preview-1024x706.jpg\" alt=\"site icon preview\" class=\"wp-image-61542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/site-icon-preview-1024x706.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/site-icon-preview-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/site-icon-preview-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/site-icon-preview.jpg 1122w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/publish-1024x706.jpg\" alt=\"publish\" class=\"wp-image-61540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/publish-1024x706.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/publish-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/publish-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/publish.jpg 1122w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For more tutorials and information on how you can customize your website, please check our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/web-design-services\/\">Web Design Services<\/a> guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need assistance?
