+<h1>Adding a favicon<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-a-favicon" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>A &#8220;favicon&#8221; is an icon used by browsers for tabs and bookmarks. This helps
+to distinguish your website and to give it a unique brand.</p>
+<p>A common question is how to add a favicon to a flask application. First, of
+course, you need an icon. It should be 16 × 16 pixels and in the ICO file
+format. This is not a requirement but a de-facto standard supported by all
+relevant browsers. Put the icon in your static directory as
+<tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">favicon.ico</span></tt>.</p>
+<p>Now, to get browsers to find your icon, the correct way is to add a link
+tag in your HTML. So, for example:</p>
+<div class="highlight-html+jinja"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nt">&lt;link</span> <span class="na">rel=</span><span class="s">&quot;shortcut icon&quot;</span> <span class="na">href=</span><span class="s">&quot;</span><span class="cp">{{</span> <span class="nv">url_for</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;static&#39;</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="nv">filename</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">&#39;favicon.ico&#39;</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="cp">}}</span><span class="s">&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>That&#8217;s all you need for most browsers, however some really old ones do not
+support this standard. The old de-facto standard is to serve this file,
+with this name, at the website root. If your application is not mounted at
+the root path of the domain you either need to configure the webserver to
+serve the icon at the root or if you can&#8217;t do that you&#8217;re out of luck. If
+however your application is the root you can simply route a redirect:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">app</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">add_url_rule</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">&#39;/favicon.ico&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>
+ <span class="n">redirect_to</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">url_for</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">&#39;static&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">filename</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">&#39;favicon.ico&#39;</span><span class="p">))</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>If you want to save the extra redirect request you can also write a view
+using <a class="reference internal" href="../api.html#flask.send_from_directory" title="flask.send_from_directory"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">send_from_directory()</span></tt></a>:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">os</span>
+<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">flask</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">send_from_directory</span>
+
+<span class="nd">@app.route</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">&#39;/favicon.ico&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
+<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">favicon</span><span class="p">():</span>
+ <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">send_from_directory</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">os</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">path</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">join</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">app</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">root_path</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&#39;static&#39;</span><span class="p">),</span>
+ <span class="s">&#39;favicon.ico&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">mimetype</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">&#39;image/vnd.microsoft.icon&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>We can leave out the explicit mimetype and it will be guessed, but we may
+as well specify it to avoid the extra guessing, as it will always be the
+same.</p>
+<p>The above will serve the icon via your application and if possible it&#8217;s
+better to configure your dedicated web server to serve it; refer to the
+webserver&#8217;s documentation.</p>
