The lazy way to create a Favicon.ico

The favicon.ico is a small icon file that sits at the root of your website. It will display next to your website details in the browser address bar and in a Favorites/Bookmarks list. I have created a ICO file for this website which you should see in the address bar right now - it looks like this How did I create it? It couldn't be easier:

  1. Use imaging software to create your image 16×16 (pixels).
  2. Use the online FavIcon from Pics tool to convert your image to an ICO file
  3. Follow the instructions from FavIcon from Pics:
    - Download the ICO file
    - Upload the ICO to the root folder of your website
    - Insert the code in your HTML as described

Done.
