FavIcon Online Generator (http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/)
Have you noticed the small icon on the browser address bar when visitors view or bookmark your web page? It's called Favicon.
A Favicon is a multi-resolution image included in nearly all professional developed sites. Within Internet Explorer the Favicon is displayed on the address line and in the favorites menu. The Favicon allows the webmaster to further promote their site, and to create a more customized appearance within a visitor's browser. Often, the Favicon reflects the look and feel of the web site or the organization's logo.
The FavIcon Online Generator allows any website owner to have their own favicon in just a couple of seconds, with no programming required. All you have to do is to have any picture you want to be your site's favicon and the FavIcon Online Generator will do the rest.
Simply select a picture, logo or other graphic (of any size/resolution) for the "Source Image". You will also be given an option to include a scrolling text (optional) and you can then click "Generate FavIcon.ico".
You will be directed to a preview page where the generated favicon logo will be displayed. You will be given two samples: a static favico and an animated favico. You will also be given an opportunity to test it in your browser, so that you can test the look and feel of your newly created favico logo.
To add this favicon to your web page:
- Click "Download FavIcon" and open the package. Favicon.ico is included in it.
- Upload the favicon.ico file to the folder on your web site where you have the web page.
- Add the following HTML tag to your web page after the <head> tag, before the </head> tag:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >
To test your new favicon in Internet Explorer add your site to favorites and reopen the page. To test it in Firefox or other Mozilla-based browsers, simply open your web page and watch the address bar or the page tab.
Have fun!
