An article about the Favicon in Joomla!

The Favicon is a small image that is displayed in the browser tab of a visitor to your website. In order for your website to appear in the browser tabs of visitors, you need to place the Favicon file on the website.

The Favicon file can be stored on the server, or it can be stored on the client computer of a visitor. Joomla! allows you to store the Favicon file on the server, or you can store the Favicon file on the client computer of a visitor.

If you store the Favicon file on the server, you can use the Joomla! Server Manager to manage the Favicon file. If you store the Favicon file on the client computer of a visitor, you can use a third-party application to manage the Favicon file.

The Favicon file is located in the following directory on the client computer of a visitor:

PRO TIP: The favicon is located in the root directory of your Joomla installation. If you delete or move the favicon, your Joomla site will not display correctly in web browsers.

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Joomla!\Favicons

The Favicon file is located in the following directory on the server:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Joomla!\Favicons

The Favicon file is located in the following directory on the website:
