Favicons From Pics

Favicon is a term that you might not be familiar with.  Favicons are the little square icons that show up next to the URL in the address bar. They’re not necessary, but they sure do make your site look a little more professional.

But how do you make them?

The best way that I’ve found is to go to a site called HTML-Kit. They have a page that will generate favicons from any image that you upload. It allows you to preview the icon and then download it.

Once you’ve downloaded the icon, you can simply use your FTP program to upload it to your site’s main directory. That should be sufficient to get it to show up as an icon.

You also can use the instructions there to put code in your headers to force the use of favicons.

You can convert your pictures to favicons right here.
