To resolve the issue of not being able to upload a 32x32px favicon to your Webflow site, you can follow these steps:

  1. Resize the favicon: If your favicon is larger than 32x32 pixels, you'll need to resize it to the correct dimensions. There are many online image editing tools available that can help you resize the image. Ensure that the favicon remains in the .ico format, as Webflow only supports this format for favicons.

  2. Use the correct file format: Webflow only supports .ico files for favicons. Ensure that your favicon is saved in the .ico format. If you have a favicon in a different format, you can use an online converter tool to convert it to .ico.

  3. Clear your browser cache: Sometimes, the issue can be resolved by clearing your browser cache. After making changes to your favicon, clear your browser cache and reload the site to see if the updated favicon is now displayed.

  4. Check file size: Webflow has a 2MB file size limit for images. If your favicon is larger than 2MB, you will need to compress it to meet the file size limit. There are online tools available that can help you compress the size of your favicon without significantly impacting its quality.

  5. File name and location: Make sure that the favicon file has the correct name and is placed in the root directory of your Webflow site. The filename should be "favicon.ico" and it should be located in the root folder of your project. Confirm that you are uploading the favicon to the correct project and that the file is not nested within any folders.

  6. Try a different browser: If the issue persists, try uploading the favicon using a different browser. Sometimes, browser compatibility issues can prevent the successful upload of files. Switching to a different browser might help resolve the problem.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully upload your 32x32px favicon to your Webflow site. Ensure that you save and publish your changes to make the updated favicon visible on your live site.
