How to Add a Favicon to Your Form

A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and social previews. Adding one to your form instantly improves its professionalism and brand recognition. It also helps your forms stand out when shared, giving them the same polished look as a landing page.

Open Your Form

Log in to your Formester account and open the form you want to customize. Make sure your form is complete and ready for design updates, as adding a favicon is typically done after your form’s structure and content are finalized.

Navigate to the Design Tab

Once your form is open, go to the Design tab. This section allows you to customize all visual aspects of your form, including colors, fonts, images, and now the favicon.

Upload Your Favicon

Click on Add Favicon. You will need to upload your favicon file. For best results, ensure that the file is in SVG format, which ensures crisp visuals on all screen sizes and maintains compatibility across different browsers. Your favicon should be a simple, recognizable version of your logo or brand icon.

Adding a favicon not only improves aesthetics but also strengthens brand identity, making your forms immediately recognizable to users who may have multiple tabs open.

Preview, Publish, and Share

After uploading, you can preview how your favicon will appear in the browser tab. Once satisfied, click Publish to save your changes.

When you share the published form URL, your form will display:

• The custom favicon in the browser tab
• The meta title you’ve set for the form
• The meta description, enhancing visibility and click-through in social shares

This small visual enhancement helps your forms appear more like professional landing pages and creates a cohesive branding experience for your audience.

Why Adding a Favicon Matters

Even though it seems minor, a favicon:

• Builds trust: Users recognize your brand immediately
• Improves engagement: Forms feel professional and credible
• Enhances social sharing: Shows your branding in previews when the URL is shared
• Supports navigation: Makes it easy for users to find your form among multiple browser tabs

Adding a favicon is a simple yet powerful way to elevate the look and feel of your Formester forms, making them visually appealing and professional while reinforcing your brand identity.
