I don’t know about you, but I always find reasons to be amazed by notorious websites that miss something. I am not talking about big things, but there are small ones that really make the difference, and today we’re going to talk about favorites icons. Yup, I am talking about that little square icon that’s associated with a certain site and appears in the Address bar of your browser!
Creating icons from scratch isn’t that easy, and usually requires some tools, apart from the skills you should have, but the good news is that Favicon Generator is a free Web-based tool that will turn any image into a favicon faster than your gramma can say “favicon,” and since I said it, let me prove it!
After opening the page where the tool is located, all you need to do is select the source image to use, the size of the icon to create, and then press the Generate button! Once the icon is ready, just right click the Download icon and choose to save the ICO file to your disk. It really wasn’t that hard, don’t you think?
Compatibility: Favicon Generator worked properly for me in Internet Explorer 7/8, Flock, Opera, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome and Maxthon, so it will probably work great in any browser you may think of… as long as you don’t want to use it with some text-based one, like Lynx! 😉
