How to change the favicon in Nuxt

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to change the default favicon in nuxt app.

Changing the favicon

1. Open the nuxt app in your favorite code editor.

2. Navigate to the static folder and delete the favicon.ico file.

3. Now, add a new favicon inside the static folder.

Note: The favicon filename should be favicon.ico, like in the above screenshot.

4. Reload your nuxt app to see the new favicon.

If your favicon is in .png format instead of .ico, then you need to update your nuxt.config.js file with the following filename.

export default {
  mode: 'universal',
  target: 'server',
  head: {
    title: process.env.npm_package_name || '',
    meta: [
      { charset: 'utf-8' },
      { name: 'viewport', content: 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1' },
      { hid: 'description', name: 'description', content: process.env.npm_package_description || '' }
    ],
    link: [
      { rel: 'icon', type: 'image/x-icon', href: '/favicon.png' }    ]
  },

The favicon.png file is present inside the static folder.
