OMG! This plugin is great!! I just put in Photoshop (I have CS3) and it is right there when I want to save as etc…! Forget all these separate programs… working on photoshop is the way to go. Thank you Toby.

Thanks for this. My ‘save as ico’ broke with my Photoshop upgrade to CS5, installed the new filter, but it’s still not working, so this was a BIG help. (it was really a pain to have to use an old machine just to save my icons).

Good, site have learned more through this site than I have through months of reading search engine optimisation and reading how to gain links books. Prehaps you can give me me some advice on how to get my wiltshire based web company to the top of search engines - help to get me comments/links and to my site?

A very simple approach: upload your .jpg file and have this site return your favicon!

If you have Photoshop (should work in most image processors), just make a 16x16px image and save it with the file name favicon.ico and it works great. If it doesn’t work with other programs, try saving as GIF and then rename it to favicon.ico.

This was very a useful little find. Thanks for taking the time to write this tutorial and for the heads-up about IcoMaker. One thing I was unsure about was what format to save the original Photoshop file, so I opted for tiff. This worked (I initially used drag-and-drop, which worked and because I never read instructions lol) but it didn’t leave me with a transparent background on the favicon. I did only use the 16 colours option though, so I’ll have a play with it and see what I get it to do.

Thanks again though.

I have had good success with png2ico, a command line utility for stuffing multiple png files into a Windows ICO file.

You can easily install it on Mac OS X, if you use darwin ports, or use do a source install from: http://www.winterdrache.de/freeware/png2ico/
