How to create a favico.ico
- Create a 16x16 pixel file.
- Index the image to 256 colors or less.
- Save the file in a format that can be converted in an
icon editor program - bmp or gif are the best bets.
- Open the file in an icon-editor to convert it to ico
format.
- Now save the file as favicon.ico.
- Put the icon in your root directory (for instance,
www.mydomain.com/favico.ico).
- If you don't have access to the root directory, you can
specify a different location by adding the following code to each of your
pages: <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/path/favico.ico">
Tips:
- Although the icon palette can contain up to 256 colors,
it's a good idea to limit the palette to 16 colors.
- The Windows 16-color palette is the safest palette to
use for icon creation.
- If you can't place your icon in the root directory, use
Server Side Includes to add the required code to the pages of your site.
