Favicon

A favicon is a small icon or badge that helps users identify your website among Favorites or open browser tabs. A favicon is displayed in the browser near your website address or name. Mostly the favicon is a square image of 16 x 16 pixels. It is usually saved in ICO format.

A favicon, an abbreviation of Favorites Icon in English, increases the recognition of a website. It is especially noticeable for mobile users. When you add a website to favorites or add it to the site in the main directory on a mobile device, the icon of the site will be set as the main image.

In such cases, there is a need for a favicon that will be well prepared visually. It is important that this icon is used in a way that appeals to the user and also establishes a connection with the site.
