Wix requires a Premium plan and a connected domain for a custom favicon. Publish the site before diagnosing the live icon, because the dashboard preview and public custom hostname are not the same discovery surface.
Use a square ICO, PNG, JPG, or SVG. For raster images, Wix asks for dimensions that are a multiple of 48 pixels; a clean 96×96 or 144×144 PNG is a practical source for both browser reduction and search requirements.

Change the favicon in Website settings
Open the site dashboard, go to Settings → Website settings, find Favicon, and choose Upload image. Select an existing media item or upload the prepared source, add it to the page, and publish.
Treat the favicon as a site-level setting. Replacing a logo inside the Wix editor does not automatically change this metadata, and saving without publishing does not update the public site.

Test the connected production hostname
Inspect the custom-domain page source and follow the resolved icon URL. Confirm a successful image response, square dimensions, and the expected new bytes before clearing local browser data.
If the Wix subdomain updates but the custom domain does not, check domain publishing state and intermediate caching. If neither updates, return to Website settings and confirm the site was published after selection.
