How to Add a Favicon in Hostinger
Hey everyone, welcome to Ben’s Experience! In this post, I’ll guide you through the steps to add a favicon in Hostinger website builder. A favicon is a small icon that appears next to your website’s name in a browser tab, making your site easily recognizable.
Step 1: Access Hostinger Website Builder
First, log in to your Hostinger account and open the website builder. Once you’re inside, click on the three dots or website settings in the dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to General Settings
In the settings menu, go to ‘General Settings’. Here, you’ll find the option for ‘Favicon’.
Step 3: Update Your Favicon
Next to the favicon option, click on ‘Update’ and then ‘Add Image’. This will allow you to upload a favicon from your computer.
Step 4: Create a Favicon (If Needed)
If you don’t have a favicon yet, you can create one easily. I recommend using Favicons.io. On the Favicons.io website, click on the ‘Generator’ from the top menu. Since my website is called B Adventures, I chose the letter B for my favicon. Customize the colors to your preference; I went with white and black. You can preview the favicon in real-time.
Step 5: Download and Decompress
After creating your favicon, download it. The file will be in a zip format, so make sure to decompress it by clicking on it.
Step 6: Upload Your Favicon to Hostinger
Go back to the Hostinger website builder and click on ‘Upload File’. Locate the favicon file you just created and hit ‘Open’. Once uploaded, select the favicon and click on ‘Save’.
Step 7: Update Your Website
After uploading and saving your favicon, always remember to update your website. Click on ‘View Site’ to see the changes live. You should now see your new favicon displayed in the browser tab.
Adding a favicon to your Hostinger website builder site is a simple way to enhance your site’s branding. Follow these steps to ensure your website stands out with a unique icon. Don’t forget to give this post a like and subscribe to Ben’s Experience for more helpful tips!
