HTML Favicon


A favicon is a small image displayed next to the page title in the browser tab.

Example:

HTML Favicon


A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small icon or image that represents a website and is displayed in various places, such as browser tabs, bookmarks, and browser history. Favicons help users quickly identify and locate a specific website among their open tabs and saved bookmarks.

To add a favicon to your HTML website, follow these steps:

  • Create Your Favicon Image:
First, create a square image that will serve as your favicon. The recommended size is 16x16 pixels or 32x32 pixels. Save this image in a format like PNG, ICO (Icon format), or GIF.

  • Upload Favicon to Your Website:
Upload the favicon image to your web server. Make sure to note the file path where you've uploaded the image.

  • Add Favicon Code to HTML:
Open your HTML document and add the following code within the <head> section of your HTML document, usually between the <head> tags:


 
<link rel="icon" href="path_to_your_favicon_image" type="image/png">


Replace "path_to_your_favicon_image" with the actual file path of your favicon image. Also, you can adjust the type attribute based on the file format you're using (e.g., "image/png", "image/x-icon", etc.)


Here's an example of what the code might look like:

 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Your Website</title>
    <link rel="icon" href="path_to_your_favicon_image" type="image/png">
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Your website content goes here -->
</body>
</html>


Save and Test:

Save the HTML file with the added favicon code. Then, open the HTML file in a web browser. You should see your favicon displayed in the browser tab and other relevant places.
Remember that browsers might cache the favicon, so changes to the favicon might not be immediately visible. Clear your browser cache or try opening the website in an incognito/private browsing window to see the changes more quickly.
By following these steps, you'll be able to add a favicon to your HTML website, enhancing its visual identity and making it easier for users to recognize and access your site.
