Changing your site's icon
Bookmarks, home screen shortcuts, and social media posts display an icon that you can customize at any point. Use your business logo or any other image that fits your branding needs.
To change the site icon:
- Open your site's settings.
- Click Website settings.
- Scroll down to General social image and click Upload Image.
- Select an image or click + Upload Media to upload a new one.
- Click Choose File to add it.
- Click Save at the top of the dashboard.
- Go back to the Editor and publish your site.
Important:
Your icon file must be hosted at Wix, either an image stored in your Media Manager or a free image from Wix. To learn how to access the image URL, click here.
The recommended image size is:
- For Apple devices: 180 X 180 pixels
- For Android devices: 192 X 192 pixels
Notes:
- If you do not add an icon, an image from your site is automatically displayed as the icon. For free sites, the image is always the Wix logo (unless you change it).
- You may need to clear your Safari cache to see if it's working on your iOS device. Unfortunately, we're unable to provide additional support for this matter including troubleshooting your images.
