Thus, even if they do not remember the url, or the name of the company, because of the image of the favicon they will locate it. You will help users who have saved your page to visually identify it.But when the logo is too big and will not be seen on the little button, you tend to choose something that relates to it. Usually this favicon is related to the logo that you have on your website, only in a smaller size. However, the favicon also has other uses such as: That is, you are going to convey a brand or corporation image that cares about details. Now that you know what the favicon is, and that you have located it in the pages that you open regularly, have you noticed that today there are fewer and fewer pages that are missing? This is because it is really very important to give a vision of elegance and know-how.
Inside it you have to take care that everything you put is seen correctly since, otherwise, it will appear as a little identifiable spot (and that will give a very bad image of your page). This small icon usually has a size set that is 16 × 16 pixels (although it can also be set at 32x32px). In other words, it is a icon that is related to the page you are visiting, That is why it is so important to pay attention to this detail, because when you add a page to favorites or shortcuts, the favicon becomes the "image" of that page and that is why you have to take care of its design so that it is related perfectly (and above all look good to distinguish it from others). Well, what you see is actually the favicon. The one on YouTube and Gmail is sure to be identified by the logos they have, but what about the rest of the tabs?

You may have noticed that, in each of them, the name of what that page reflects appears, be it YouTube (because you are listening to background music), Gmail (because you have your mail open) or this page. But you don't have just one tab, but several of them. Imagine that you are browsing right now (in fact, you are reading us). And, for this, nothing better than to give you a practical example. We are going to start by explaining what a favicon is so that you understand it.
