- [Narrator] Ever notice that when you visit some websites…you see a little customize icon in the address bar…of the bookmarks list or the tab of your web browser?…Well that little tiny 16 by 16 pixel image…is called a favicon, short for favorite icon,…and in this lesson I'm going to show you…how to create one and add one to a website.…Before we get started it's important to note…that today favicons are used by…lots of different devices at different resolutions,…and for different reasons.…And to make matters more complex,…each device requires a different file size…and link code for the HTML.…
