Create your own favicon with ease


Website owners should create their own favicons that are placed in that tiny space next to your url and consist normally of 16×16 pixels. They show up in the bookmarks section of your browser as well and several extension for Firefox let you replace the text of the tabs with just the favicon of the websites.

I’m using an online favicon generator which offers all the functionality that one needs. You see a blank 16×16 image that you can fill with colors to create your favicon. That can be saved to your computer and added to your website. Another option would be to use one of the many stored favicons that are all released under Creative Commons.

I got the Mona Lisa favicon from that website. I think it is really awesome what some users can do with just 16×16 pixels. Here is a short selection of popular favicons from the site.
