Favicons are small icons that represent your website. They usually appear next to your website's URL in the navigation bar, in the tab, or next to the bookmark for your site depending on the browser. Using a favicon can boast your website's credability to your visitors.
WSA Favicon makes uploading a favicon a simple process. Most favicon plugins require you to generate your favicon in the correct ICO format on a thrid party site. WSA Favicon will automatically convert PNG, GIF, and JPEG images to a multi-resolution ICO format.
Using a multi-resolution format ICO for your favicon will mean that when your favicon is resized it will continue to look great! This is acheived by embedding multiple images of various resolutions within one ICO.
After converting your image file to the right format and dimensions, WSA Favicon will attach your favicon to each webpage so it displays in your users URL or tab and next to each bookmark.
WSA Favicon can also upload, convert, and display icons for Apple touch devices including the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Without using this plugin if your users bookmark your website or blog on their touch device it will take a screenshot of part of your webpage but with WSA Favicon you can enhance the icon's display for your visitors.
WSA Favicon will use Imagick for imaging formating if available and fallback to GD, which is installed with PHP by default.
