A favicon, short for “favorite icon,” is a small icon (usually 16×16 pixels) associated with a particular website or webpage. It appears in various places, such as:
♦ Browser Tabs: Next to the page title.
♦ Bookmarks: Beside the bookmark name.
♦ Address Bar: Next to the URL.
Adding a favicon enhances your website’s branding and makes it easily recognizable. Due to their tiny size, favicons work best as simple images or one-to-three characters of text. Favicons are not to be confused with logos but are sometimes the same. Due to their small size and resolution, the favicon may need to be an even smaller size or part of a company’s original logo.
