How to create a Favicon file?

Uncategorized

Everyone wants that cute looking favicon in the location bar and tab bar of the browsers when somebody visits their site, which is in fact very simple then it appears to be.

I googled a bit and found tons of scripts and small softwares that can do it for you. Some provide you the old (and gold indeed) method to edit those blocks of .ico files.

The best one i found was the one at Favicon.cc

but it isnt that attractive and easy for people whoe are bad at drawing with the mouse, specially when it comes to putting squares over squares.

A number of sites let you upload an image of your choice and convert it to .ico file. This is good if you have a logo of your website with you.

The best one comes from none other than Dynamic Drive

As  simple as it sounds. And flawless like other cool stuff from them.

The other one in this category is FaviconGenerator

similar to the one at DynamicDrive and self explanatory

But what i used to create the sample favicon you are seeing on the tab bar above right now, is the one i created using a very simple script from this site

with the strange name Antifavicon

I liked it more than the others because it reall is the simplest, you do not need to have a logo designed for you in advance or edit that ico file.

All you have to do is to enter the text you want  and choose the color settings. And you’re done :-)

There are a lots of other sites that provide you animated favicon generators and other flashy stuff.. but i guess that’s not what everyone wants..
