How to change favicon on squarespace?

Changing your favicon on Squarespace is a straightforward process handled entirely through the platform's built-in settings, without needing to touch any code or access backend files directly. Start by logging into your Squarespace admin dashboard, then navigate to the Settings section, and from there look for Website settings, where you'll find an option specifically labeled Favicon, though the exact menu path can vary slightly depending on which Squarespace template version and generation your site is built on. Once you locate the favicon setting, you simply click to upload a new image file, and Squarespace recommends using a square image, ideally at least 100x100 pixels, saved in JPG, PNG, or GIF format, since Squarespace automatically handles the conversion and resizing needed to display it properly across different browsers and devices rather than requiring you to manually create an ICO file yourself. After uploading your new image, Squarespace typically applies the change immediately, though you may need to clear your browser cache or do a hard refresh to actually see the updated favicon appear in your browser tab, since favicons are sometimes cached aggressively by browsers even after the underlying file has changed on the server side.
