How to Make a Favicon
A favicon is the small icon shown in the browser tab and bookmarks.
- Choose your logo, or switch to "From a letter" and type one letter
- Pick a shape, background colour and the space around the icon
- Check the small previews and the browser-tab picture
- Download the ZIP with all icons
- Upload the files to your website root and paste the code in the head of your pages
Everything happens inside your browser, so your document is never uploaded.
