Create A Free Favicon Online

Creating a favicon for your website is an easy and free way to increase the professional look of your website. A favicon is,as the name suggests, an icon which is displayed when your site is added to someone's favourites folder.

It is also displayed in the address bar of some web browsers next to your web address. Here we show you just how easy they are to create and implement:

1) Design an image 50px x 50px to use as your favicon. This should be a simple image, perhaps a small logo, letter etc - see other icons for inspiration (i.e. Blogger "B"). The image can be designed in Paint, Photoshop or other image software.

2) Save the image then visit http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ and upload your new icon. This website will turn it into a favicon (.ico) for free which you can download. It even shows you a preview of what it looks like in an address bar after uploading the image.

3) After downloading and unzipping the file, upload the new favicon.ico file to your website and add the following piece of code in your web page between the opening HEAD and closing /HEAD: "link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico""

4) Congratulations that's it! Easy huh? Now ust test your site to ensure evrything is working and that you're happy with how your new favicon looks.
