Free Web Tools-How to Make a Favicon

How to Create a Favicon for your Website with Free Web Tools

What is a favicon?

A favicon is a shortened version of ‘favorites icon.’  I have also heard this referred to as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon.

Have you ever noticed a little image in the address URL?

The image to the left of the web address is a favicon or an icon associated with this particular website: www.WebTechTips.com/blog.

You can create an icon and have it displayed with your URL on a browser.  It isn’t too hard to do.

Most browsers support favicons and will display them in the browser web address bar and next to the page’s name in the bookmarks.

Browswers that support tabbed browsing will typically show the favicon next to the page title.

How do I create a favicon?

Favicons are relatively easy to make.  There are a several free tools online.  One of my favorites is from HTML-kit

Next post I will make a video showing you how to make a favicon.
