Website icon (favicon.ico)

Last modified: Thursday June 19th, 2025

Favicon (also known as a shortcut icon, website icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon) is typically a square icon of 16×16 or 32×32 pixels, associated with a specific website or webpage.
The favicon filename must always be favicon.ico and comply with the general standard.
A favicon is usually created by the website designer and placed among the website files, in the root directory.
Browsers that support favicon display it in the address bar and bookmarks. Browsers with tab support also show the favicon in each tab next to the title.
