Can I add a custom favicon on a free Wix site?

No. A custom favicon on Wix requires a paid Premium plan with a connected custom domain. Free sites display the default Wix favicon.

Where is the favicon setting in Wix?

In your site dashboard under Settings, then Website Settings, in the Favicon section. Upload a square image and then publish your site.

What is the best favicon size for Wix?

Upload a square image at 512x512px. Wix downscales it for the browser tab, so a larger, simple, high-contrast mark stays sharp at small sizes.

My Wix favicon is not showing. Why?

Confirm you are on a Premium plan with a connected domain, that you republished the site, and then hard-refresh or check in a private window because browsers cache favicons.

How to add a favicon in Wix

To add a favicon in Wix, open your site dashboard, go to Settings, then Website Settings, find the Favicon section, and upload a square image (we recommend 512x512px). Note that a custom favicon requires a paid Premium plan with a connected domain.

What you need

A connected custom domain on a paid Wix Premium plan (free sites show the Wix favicon).
A square image; Wix recommends a clear, simple mark that reads at 16x16.
Wix handles the resizing and markup; you only provide the source image.

Step-by-step: add a favicon in Wix

Open Website Settings. From your Wix dashboard, go to Settings, then Website Settings (or Settings, then Favicon depending on editor version).
Upload your favicon. In the Favicon section, click Upload Image and choose a square image, ideally 512x512px, then crop to the square frame.
Save and publish. Save the setting, then click Publish on your site. The favicon appears once the published site reloads.

Common mistakes to avoid

Expecting a custom favicon on the free plan - it requires Premium with a connected domain.
Uploading a detailed logo that turns to mush at 16x16; simplify to a symbol or monogram.
Not republishing the site after saving, so the change never goes live.
Testing in the Wix editor preview instead of the live published URL.
