## What Is a Favicon? 

A **favicon**, short for *Favorite Icon*, is a file that attaches a small image to your webpage that appears in various places on your web browser. It can be used for branding purposes or to simply [add some flair to your webpage](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/wordpress-43-favicon/). While it is possible to [convert most images](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/website-design/gimp-favicon/) into a favicon, this process can be tedious and time-consuming.
