The word “favicon” is a blend of the words “favorite” and “icon”. It helps users recognize which websites are running when multiple tabs are open at a time.

A favicon is usually only 16 pixels wide and 16 pixels high. Though favicons are small, they actually make a big impact on user experience and digital branding.

Not only do favicons establish credibility, but they also visually connect users to a brand and help build awareness.

In order to create a favicon, you should follow these steps:

  • Create Your Custom Image
  • Convert The Image
  • Upload It To Your Site
  • Add HTML Code

Alternatively, you could find a free favicon generator online and upload your custom image there.
