How to add a favicon in Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a CSS framework, not a site builder, so adding a favicon is plain HTML: place favicon.ico at your site root and add the icon, apple-touch-icon, and manifest <link> tags inside the <head> of your HTML pages. Bootstrap does not change how favicons work - the standard markup applies.

What you need

favicon.ico at the site root, plus PNG favicons (16/32), a 180x180 apple-touch-icon, and 192/512 PWA icons.
Access to your HTML files' <head> (Bootstrap itself adds nothing here).
A site.webmanifest declaring the Android/PWA and maskable icons.

Step-by-step: add a favicon in Bootstrap

Generate the icon set. Use Logo2Favicon to produce favicon.ico, the PNG sizes, the Apple touch icon, the PWA icons, a maskable icon, and the manifest - all in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Place favicon.ico at the root. Copy favicon.ico to the top level of your site, next to your index.html. Browsers request /favicon.ico automatically.
Add the link tags to <head>. Inside the <head> of each page (the same place your Bootstrap CSS link sits), add the icon, apple-touch-icon, and manifest link tags using root-absolute paths.
Verify. Open the page, check the tab icon, and confirm /favicon.ico and /site.webmanifest both return 200.

Add to each page's <head> (alongside your Bootstrap CSS link):

<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" sizes="any">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">

Common mistakes to avoid

Assuming Bootstrap handles favicons - it is only CSS/JS and adds nothing to the head; you add the tags yourself.
Using relative paths that break on nested URLs; use root-absolute paths like /favicon.ico.
Adding the tags to one page instead of every page (or a shared header include), so only some routes get the icon.
Adding transparency to the Apple touch icon; iOS fills transparent pixels with black.
