Create and Add a Favicon

  1. Create/source your desired image, preferrably with a transparent background. Crop it into a square.
  2. Go to favicon.cc and click ‘Import Image’ on the left side. Choose the resize option
  3. In the preview box, click ‘Download Favicon.’ Save it to your image directory or wherever you want.
  4. In the head of your html document, paste this code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="/some-folder/some-image.ico" />

That’s it. It works in most browsers, including the IE’s. You can have a different favicon for different pages or sections of the site, if you choose.
