A [[wikipedia:Favicon|favicon]] is a small, square image that appears on the browser's tab (if the browser supports [[wikipedia:Tabbed_document_interface|tabbed browsing]]) and on the left side of the site URL in the address bar. A favicon's size in the file is 16x16 pixels but they can also be packed in a multi sized image supported by .ico file, e.g. a 16x16 and a 32x32 pixel image in one file. The sizes used by a browser vary, but the rendered size is always scaled to 16x16, even if a 32x32 image size is provided.

By default, the Joomla! favico can be found in the /images directory.  Some templates, however, will contain code that redirect the browser to /templates/template_name/icon.  To determine where your new favico should be, examine /templates/index.php and look for code that resembles: <nowiki><link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursite.com/templates/your_template/icon/favicon.ico" ></nowiki>

A favicon is a small, square image that appears on the browser's tab (if the browser supports tabbed browsing) and on the left side of the site URL in the address bar. A favicon's size in the file is 16x16 pixels but they can also be packed in a multi sized image supported by .ico file, e.g. a 16x16 and a 32x32 pixel image in one file. The sizes used by a browser vary, but the rendered size is always scaled to 16x16, even if a 32x32 image size is provided.

The default icon is the Joomla! logo, but you may change it to suit your site.
