What a favicon is

A favicon is the small icon that appears in the browser tab when a respondent has your form open. By default, the Filla favicon is shown. You can replace it with your own brand icon.

​
How to set a favicon

1

Open the Form Settings Sidebar

In the form editor, click anywhere on the canvas background (not on a field) to open the form-level settings in the right panel.
2

Find the Favicon setting

Look for the Favicon upload field in the appearance section.
3

Upload your favicon

Click the upload area and select your favicon file. Supported formats: ICO, PNG, SVG.

​
Favicon requirements

  • Recommended size: 32x32px (standard favicon size)
  • Supported formats: ICO, PNG, SVG
  • Square dimensions: Favicons must be square or they may display oddly in some browsers
Use a PNG or SVG version of your logo mark (the icon portion, not the full wordmark). A 32x32px square works best. ICO format is the most universally supported, but PNG and SVG work fine in modern browsers.

​
Where the favicon appears

  • In browser tabs when the form is open
  • In browser bookmarks if a respondent bookmarks the form
  • In browser history
The favicon appears in both the standalone form view and embedded forms (the tab icon is controlled by the parent page when embedded).

​
Common questions

Browsers aggressively cache favicons. After uploading a new one, clear your browser cache or open the form in a private/incognito window to see the new favicon.
Technically the browser may show the animation, but it is generally not recommended. Animated favicons can be distracting. Use a static PNG or ICO instead.
No. When your form is embedded in another website, the browser tab shows the favicon of the parent page, not the Filla form’s favicon.
