: How do I make a favicon? I'm trying to make a favicon with the first part of the logo (PSA) for a website I'm building but I'm stumped how? I'm still quite a fledgling when it comes to

@Harper654

Don't do it yourself, especially if you're not sure how to proceed.
To be fully compatible (and hence useful), a favicon has to be created in a variety of formats and size.

I would recommend using an on-line solution / generator like realfavicongenerator.net/ , once you cropped your image successfully (using one of the other answers).
Another option would be to follow the (long, inclusive, using Photoshop) tutorial at www.emergeinteractive.com/insights/detail/The-Essentials-of-FavIcons-in-2017
I provide more technical details, oriented at webmasters, in another answer.

Use the crop tool in Photoshop, and set the height and the width as much you need, usually 16x16, 50x50 o 150x150. This will create the crop square


Drag the image to the right so that the crop square fits on the left


Crop image and save to PNG


Done!

In Photoshop:

Start with using the crop tool to crop it into a square with just the Circle.
Do not distort it to make it a perfect circle - leave it as an oval, and just have extra space on the sides.
(Make sure to save a copy of the original artwork)

Then use the magic wand selection to remove all the white - make it transparent (If you don't it will end up looking weird on the browser (since most browsers color isn't white)

Note, it may look better to just leave the white in the inside and transparent the outside - that's up to you.

Then resize the image to 16x16px or possibly higher Read more about it on Stack Overflow.

Save file as png (to preserve transparency - jpg and other formats won't do it)



You can then use an online tool to convert your png into a favicon (some of the popular simple website builders will let you just put it in as a png)
