“What’s a easy way to create my own favicon for my website?”
For those who don’t know what Favicon’s are they’re little 16×16 icons you see next to the address bar in your web browser. Many websites have their own cute little favicons and I think every site should have one just because many people like to have many tabs open in a browser and having a small icon can really help usability.
Here’s a simple way to create your own favicon:
Go to http://www.favicon-generator.de/default.aspx.
You can either upload an image which the site will turn it into a 16×16 favicon or if you’re creative and artistic unlike myself you can hand draw your own favicon using the colours and tools provided.
I uploaded my image and the site converted the image to the standard favicon size and it was super fast. You can then edit it if you like with the provided tools. They also give you a preview of what it looks like in a address bar which is really cool. When you’re finished simply download the file by right-clicking and choose “Save as…” on the link below.
