Quick Fix: How to Change Your Favicon on Squarespace
Looking to give your Squarespace website a more polished and professional look? Changing your favicon is a quick and easy way to start. A favicon is the small icon that appears next to your website’s name in the browser tab. It’s a tiny detail, but it plays a big role in your site’s branding and user experience.
How to choose your favicon
When selecting a favicon for your website, keep a few key points in mind:
Simplicity: Choose a design that is simple and easily recognizable at a small size. Avoid too many details which can become blurry or indistinguishable when scaled down.
Brand Consistency: Your favicon should match your brand’s style and colors. If you have a logo, consider using a simplified version of it.
Visibility: Make sure the favicon stands out against different browser backgrounds. Test it to ensure it’s clear and visible.
Format: Use a high-quality image in a .png format, preferably with a transparent background. Squarespace recommends a 32x32 pixel size, but it should be no larger than 150x150 pixels to upload correctly.
