On which software do you create favicons and webclips for the websites you manage? Actually, there are many software and online platforms, but I personally use Figma. The real question is this: "how to add a favicon and webclip on Webflow?"

Why add a favicon and webclip on webflow?

You absolutely have to change the favicon and webclip of your site if you have based it on existing site templates (as we are used to do with Webflow; by the way, this is one of the things that makes Webflow great, not to mention the fact that thanks to it, you can create a site without code). Let's assume that you have been inspired by the pre-existing templates in the showcase. You probably copied the favicon and webclip from the template itself. However, these elements are not adapted to your site or your visual identity.

By the way, I remind you that by definition, the favicon is nothing else than the icon displayed in the favorites bar of a web browser. It is mainly used by Internet users, because it helps them to quickly identify your site. We can therefore say that it must be part of the graphic charter of a company.

The same goes for the webclip (which differs only in size).

There is a YouTube video in which I describe this at the bottom of the article. Support me by subscribing to the YouTube channel "Happy Desk Design".

Prepare your favicon and webclip

To add a favicon and webclip on Webflow, you just have to go on the software you have chosen (me, on Figma), and you create your own favicon and webclip. You design them the way you want. In most cases, we use the company logos. But as far as the favicon in particular is concerned, I doubt it's a good idea (in case the logo is not visible enough as a favicon).

So there are those who opt for initials. For HappyDesk for example, if the logo was not visible enough, I might have used the initial H.

Anyway, I let you see how I did it, in my video.

Before adding a favicon and webclip on Webflow, note these dimensions:

• Favicon 32 x 32 px
• Webclip 256 x 256 px

Once this is done, all that remains is to export these two images (preferably in PNG format).

Inserting favicon and webclip on Webflow

Then go to the parameter, and then add a favicon and webclip in the appropriate fields. To validate all these modifications, it only remains to publish the site. And presto, your favicon and webclip are up to date.

Conclusion
Now that you know the importance of favicons and webclips, and that you know how to easily modify those of sites designed with Webflow, wouldn't you be tempted to register on Webflow (if you haven't already)? If you're already there, it's high time to update all your sites :)
