# Favicon

We all encounter a favicon when we open any browser. Even as you read this, you may see a few favicons. This is a small image (icon) of 16×16 millimetres or 32×32 pixels that appears in the browser tabs next to the name of the website. Favicons thus allow users to quickly find their way around when opening multiple web pages and at the same time add a distinctive touch to your website. Although often overlooked, the favicon is a very important detail when creating a web presence.
