Customize Internet Browser Icon (Favicon)

In the Ultimate Web Builder software 2.8 upgrade release, we have added an internet browser icon (favicon) upload tool.  Check out the tutorial on the Online User Manual.

You can upload a customized icon for your website to display on the top of the internet browser – also called a favicon – from the Configure Site > Internet Browser Icon menu on your website Admin Panel.  Just upload your Icon File on the page, and the software will automatically code your webpages accordingly.

Your icon file needs to be a .ico file format.  You should make it 16×16 px.  A good way to create your own customized favicon:

1) Create the image file on Photoshop, or a similar graphics software, as a jpg or gif image – you can now save it directly as a .ico image file. If you don’t have Photoshop, you can download the free open source graphics software, Gimp.
2) Download IrfanView on CNet: http://download.cnet.com/IrfanView/3000-2192_4-10021962.html?part=dl-IrfanView&subj=dl&tag=button
3) After installing IrfanView to your computer, open and use it to convert your icon file – Open your file and then just save it as a .ico file.

4) Now upload your .ico file on the Configure Site > Internet Browser Icon page on your website Admin Panel – the software will code your webpages accordingly.
