How to Create Your Own FavIcons in Seconds
By Alice Hill

I can’t tell you how long it took me to create the little orange box with an R in it as our official RealTechNews FavIcon. For those who need a quick Web refresher - a FavIcon is a tiny graphic you create and post on the root of your website with the extension .ico. Browsers look for it when you bookmark the site and will display the graphic in the address bar, a tab, or anywhere you store a “favorite” or bookmark. It’s a nice way to make your bookmark stand out.
Problem was, creating a FavIcon usually involved awful freeware utilities that made drawing even a simple “R” in a box an undertaking. Wish we had known about FaviIcons from Pics. The URL for this handy and FREE service is horrible: http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ so make sure you bookmark it. Upload a graphic and boom - instant FavIcon including one that is animated (don’t go there.) Source: FavIconsFrom Pics via Noheat

This works great! I fed it a fairly large JPEG, much more complex than I would ever try to hand-create as a favicon. Within 60 seconds a favicon was produced that looked absolutely fantastic! This site is a great find, thanks Alice!

Thank you! I will use this favicon tool as part of my ongoing political war against the dirty imperialist French!
