- Click Save
- Clear browser cache if changes don't appear immediately
Favicon Display Behavior:
- Shows in browser tabs and bookmarks
- Appears in Safari's address bar and tab view
- May display in search results
- Limited visibility on mobile browsers
Technical Requirements:
Resolution:
- Optimal size: 100px × 100px to 300px × 300px

After uploading, verify your favicon displays correctly across different browsers and devices. Remember that browser caching may delay visibility of updates.
