Web Favorites Icon

How to change your web site's favorites icon

  1. The easiest way to get a favorites icon is to download one, from a web site such as Artscape and then rename it to favicon.ico.

    The alternative is to create a 32x32 256-color image in a picture editor, and convert it to an icon file. In some image editors, the conversion can be done using a plug-in; otherwise there are some free programs that can do it.

  2. Upload the favicon.ico file in binary format to the root directory (public_html) of your web site.

Update the favorites icon in the browser

To load the new favorites icon in FireFox:

  • Browse to the URL of the icon itself: http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico

To load the new favorites icon in Internet Explorer:

  • On the menu bar, select Tools then Delete Browsing History....
  • Select Delete files... to delete Temporary Internet files.
  • Confirm by clicking Yes.
  • Close down all instances of the browser.
  • Start the browser again and browse to the site's home page.
  • If the favorites icon changes to an Internet Explorer icon, shut down the browser again, restart it one more time, and browse to the site's home page.
