Free Favicon Generator - Create A Favicon The Easy Way!

Written by kevinkoop on September 24th, 2009

My wife and I just launched a brand new site that offers both a Free Favicon Generator in addition to complete, Favicon How To information.

If you’re not familiar with what a “favicon” is, let me quickly explain… The term favicon is short for “Favorites Icon.” It’s the little image (logo, if you will) that is shown next to your website’s url in the browser, on any open browser tab and also next to your listing whenever someone “Favorites” your site by bookmarking it.

It helps to increase branding and to set your site apart from all the rest. In addition to this, your favicon can also be used to build backlinks to your site (which improves your SEO) and has the ability to bring you direct traffic.

How is this possible, you ask?

Well, there are a number of Favicon Gallery sites that will list your favicon image on their site for free. Most of these sites link your image straight to your site (hence, the backlink) and some of them get pretty solid traffic (which could lead to direct traffic).

So, there are a number of benefits to having a favicon and the only real downside is that you have to either learn how to make a favicon yourself or you have to hire this work out.

That’s where our new Favicon How To site comes in, we provide a step-by-step video on how to make a favicon from scratch and a Free Favicon Generator that will convert your image into the .ico file format necessary for your favicon to start appearing on your site.

The tool is completely free and I think you will find it fun, fast and easy to use.
