Official W3C & Search Engine Documentation Outlines

Authoritative guidelines governing how browser vendors and web crawlers discover, cache, and render site favicons.

Google Search CentralGooglebot Standard

Define a Favicon to Show in Search Results

Google Search displays your favicon beside search snippets. Requirements: Must be a square aspect ratio and a multiple of 48px (e.g. 48x48, 96x96, 144x144, or SVG). Googlebot-Image must not be blocked by robots.txt. Favicon URL must be stable.

W3C / WHATWG HTML Living StandardW3C Recommendation

HTML Standard: The "icon" link type relation

Mandates rel="icon" instead of obsolete rel="shortcut icon". Outlines how browsers select appropriate icons using type="image/svg+xml" for resolution-independent rendering, falling back to PNG sizes="32x32".

Apple Developer DocumentationiOS Safari Spec

Configuring Web Applications: Apple Touch Icons

Apple iOS requires an apple-touch-icon link with a 180x180 px PNG. Transparent alpha channels should be avoided in Apple Touch icons to prevent iOS rendering a solid black backing background.

Mozilla Developer Network (MDN)MDN Web Specs

SVG Favicons and Dark Mode Media Queries

Modern browsers support CSS media queries inside SVG favicons (@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)), enabling a single SVG asset to dynamically invert or shift colors based on the user operating system appearance.
