# Website icons

The icons panel allows you to control the different icons associated with your website. These will be displayed in web browsers and on mobile devices when your site is bookmarked, saved to the home screen or "pinned".

> 💡 **Tip:** When replacing existing icons on your site, it may take a while for changes to become visible in your browser. This is due to the browser caching the old version of the icon.

### Recommended dimensions

DPG will scale images down if needed, so for best results upload an icon **a minimum of 512px across** and in **PNG format** for all icon types other than Pinned Site. Pinned site icons must be in **SVG format**.
