A favorites icon, also called a "favicon," is a 16 pixel wide by 16 pixel high image file that appears as your website icon in most Web browsers. The image is called a favorites icon because when older Web browsers added a website to the "favorites" menu, the browser would attempt to download an icon to accompany the website shortcut. A favorites icon uses the ".ico" file format. You can create a favorites icon using any graphics program that allows you to resize images, such as the native Windows image editor, Microsoft Paint.
