Change Browser Icon

January 26, 2010 Updated February 19, 2017 1 min read fsb

Ever wonder how to change the little browser icon of your webpage?

This guide will explain it in just a few steps (for both a traditional webpage and for a WordPress theme)

  1. Go find the image that you would like to use for your logo
  2. Scale the image down so that it is exactly 24x24 pixels
  3. Save the image as an Icon file: On windows, this is just a BMP file, on MAC you can save as Windows Icon File
  4. The filename must be: favicon.ico

For Wordpress:

Save the file in your wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME-NAME/images (overwrite the existing one)

For a Traditional HTML Page

Save the file in your website root directory
