A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is a small image that represents your website, typically displayed in the browser tab, bookmark bar, or next to the site name in a list of favorites. To add a favicon to your website using HTML, follow these steps:
-
Create or Choose an Image: Ensure that your image is square and typically 16x16 pixels or 32x32 pixels in size. Common formats are
.ico,.png, or.jpg. A.icofile is the most widely supported across different browsers. -
Place the Favicon in Your Website's Root Directory: It's a good practice to place the favicon in the root directory of your website, but you can place it in any folder as long as the correct path is specified.
-
Add the Favicon Link to Your HTML: You need to add a
<link>tag inside the<head>section of your HTML file. This will reference the favicon image.
Here's an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Your Website</title>
<!-- Favicon -->
<link rel="icon" href="path-to-your-favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<!-- Alternatively, if your favicon is in a different format like PNG -->
<!-- <link rel="icon" href="path-to-your-favicon.png" type="image/png"> -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- Your content here -->
</body>
</html>
Notes:
- Replace
"path-to-your-favicon.ico"with the actual path to your favicon image. - You can specify different sizes and formats for the favicon by adding additional
<link>tags with thesizesattribute, for example:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" sizes="16x16" />
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" sizes="32x32" />
This will ensure that the correct favicon is displayed on various devices and browsers.
