How to Add or Update Your Favicon

A favicon—the small icon displayed in a browser tab—reinforces your brand identity and gives your website a professional, recognizable look. Updating your favicon on an ASP-powered event site is quick and easy through Showoff.

This guide covers the steps and requirements for adding or changing your site’s favicon.

Understanding Favicons in Showoff

In Showoff, a favicon is linked to your website’s domain. This means:

• Only one favicon can be set per domain.

• The favicon will display consistently on all pages of your site.

• Custom favicons for individual pages are not supported.

Preparing Your Favicon

• Use a square image (ideally 32×32 pixels).

• Save it in ICO format for best compatibility.

• Keep the design clear and recognizable, even at small sizes.

• Store the file in a secure location on your device for easy access.

Tip: Use RealFaviconGenerator to convert your image into ICO format. Once generated, upload the  favicon.ico file to your website's Media Manager 

Steps to Add or Update Your Favicon

1. Log in to your website.

2. Go to the Media Manager.

3. Upload your favicon file (ICO format) by either:

   • Dropping it into the root folder (the first page you see), or

   • Clicking Select File at the top of the page and choosing your file.

4. Upload the file.

5. Refresh your site to see the updated favicon in action.

Tips & Troubleshooting

• Clear your browser cache if the new favicon doesn’t appear immediately.

• Upload only one favicon at a time to avoid conflicts.

• Ensure your file format is correct (ICO recommended).

• Ensure your file name is in the correct format with lowercase 'f' — favicon.ico
