I came across this a couple weeks ago, and was quite pleased. It's a lot easier than downloading the plugin, and you can make any picture you want into a favicon in only seconds, free of charge.

I think you can actually MAKE them there too, as well as uploading them XD

Excellent tutorial! Now I can finally remove the icon that was part of my content manager and replace it.

Thanks for your tutorial. I now have a favicon on my site!

For those of you who want to use something with a photoshop-esque feel to it, but can't find a way to make icon files, I found out The GIMP can make icons... does that help?

Oh, and if it takes a long time to upload the file to your host, it's normal. I guess because it is a big file but mine takes like 3 minutes to upload. IDK maybe a slow server? Not Trap17, my non-PHP host that I just keep like my flash files, images, shiznitz0r like tah.

It should not take a long time to upload. These are small files and usually should take a second or two no matter what your connection speed is. A .ico file is only 16x16 and loads very fast. The file shouldn't be any bigger than a few K in size. If you are having slow uploading on this file then you should change your host because they are hosting you on a modem or something...

You can make it as a bmp or there is a great website where you can create an icon right online. To get it go to Favicon Editor

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. You made a simpler thing even simpler by the way you explained it. Favicon's can add a boost to your website, so thanks for telling us.

Even though I knew how to do this, you refreshed my mind smile.gif.

Is there any browsers that aren't capable of Favicon?

Have a great day!

-Tom.

There is a similar offer on this website: http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/. It has no apparent limit to the file size of the image you upload and it is generated within seconds. If you want to enhance the hyperlinks on your website leading to other pages by adding the target's favicon right next to your link, have a look at this nice tutorial: Hyperlink Cues with Favicons
