What is a favicon image?
Let me show you. You will be kicking yourself when you see what it is!
That’s it!
A favicon image is basically a small icon that appears on a website tab. It helps you identify and differentiate tabs when you have a million tabs open.
Where Else Can You Find Favicon Images?
A favicon image can be seen in toolbar apps, browser history, search bars and bookmarks. They are a visual representation of your website and is another great way to differentiate your brand and business from competitors. By having a favicon that is consistent with your brand’s logo and colors, you can create a more cohesive and memorable user experience. This can help visitors remember your website and return to it in the future.
A favicon is a square image that is 16×16 or 32×32 px in size and should be saved as a PNG.
All website platforms should have an area where you can change your favicon appearance.
One of my ultimate pet peeves on a website is when a website does not have a favicon image! Instead, you see a wordpress or NO icon.
