excellent! 😁

now I don't have to go all back-asswards and rename .gif or .bmp to .ico to get it
to work! thx bigweb

Thanks for the advice, I've recently become addicted to downloading icons, and I'll be glad to be able to use Adobe to make them. I only hope it works with 7.0 😉

God Bless you!

This popped up right on the top of my search and it was just the answer I needed. Thanks much!

Cheers,

Woodstock - I'm glad you found this today. I had meant to download and install this last month, and completely forgot to. Got it done now though!

Welcome to OZZU!

That is really cool, thanks for that link. I must have downloaded and deleted freeware ico makers about 4-5 times.

Icons are awesome! I think everyone should use them

I was also renaming .gifs Thanks!

I used to do the same thing (download and delete)....I found a better way though. I got Visual Studio .NET to program and I found out that you can create icons using it! I've made icons in photoshop before by renaming files and they end up messed up.

You are the man!! I had purchased software to make icons. Shortly after I enrolled in college (pursuing a Bachelor of Science in web design and multimedia). Adobe PhotoShop CS is a program we have been required to study. I've taken some files editing in Adobe, and transferring to the Icon software. I'm usually skeptical, but when something is good, it works, and it's an honest deal -- that's something worth talking about! Wow, I am just clean amazed... it works just like you said it would.

Way too cool!

Sweet find! Come to me home made icons! 😈

I'm sorry to spoil the fun, but can you make multiple page .ico files? You know, there's more to .ico than a renamed bitmap. Yet it does save 32-bit icons and my old icon editing software can't (Axalis AX-Icons).

😛 Great pointer...Thanks a million

What dimentions do you make favicons?

Well, if you go to the download page of that website you will also see he has an icon "packager" if you will. Basically you can create your 64x64 icon and save it....resize it to 32x32 and save it.....resize it to 24x24 and save it......resize it to 16x16 and save it.....resize it to 8x8 and save it.....and then run the packaging utility to turn it into one single icon! That way you get the best quality regardless of what size it is displayed at, and you have an icon for every used size!

Cheers!

Man paying to create a .ico files is just plain wrong. Here we are using Photoshop a package made to create and one cannot make a .ico file until now...

Thx for the tips and using Visual Studio .Net asswell is also a great idea, but i'd prefer Photoshop...

Great Find! 😁

I remember awhile back I was looking for a photoshop plug-in but I couldn't find one and I ended up at:

https://www.degraeve.com/favicon/

It's a useful site and all, but I didn't want to have to upload my png's all the time. Thanks for that!

Hye overthere !

Is the icons available on safari(mac) ?
Because i did everything, good location and extension staff but nothing appear-Thanks anyway for the tip
👍

But how about the CS3???
"all versions of Photoshop (3.0-7.0, CS, CS2), under Mac OS X, 9 and earlier, and Windows", except for CS3......

http://old.marcofolio.net/webdesign/how_to_create_a_favicon_for_your_website.html

The plugin download is still here
http://telegraphics.com.au/sw/

It obviously has been revised to work with CS3 (sorry I can't test it - have CS2 -- Im really surprised Adobe just didn't incorporate it i CS3)

If you have Adobe Photoshop, you can use this ICO plugin for Photoshop. Download the ICO (Windows Icon) Format and extract the ZIP-archive. Next, put the plug-in called ICOFormat.8bi in the following directory;
C:\Program Files\Adobe**Adobe Photoshop CS3**\Plug-Ins\File Formats\
Now start up Photoshop and create a new file with the width and height of 16 x 16 pixels.
Unleash your designing skills to create the Favicon and when you're done, go to "File", "Save as..." (Shift + Ctrl + S).
Name your file "favicon.ico" and set the format to "ICO (Windows Icon) (*.ICO)".

I tried with my CS3, but it doesn't work, it only added an option for portable bitmap.

well an ico file is nothing more than a bitmap. You certain the .ico extension isn't there on save as dropdown?

What about CS4 ?
That's already available for pre-order at Adobe.

Making ico in Photoshop is easy!

Simply create your image using a square canvas.

Upload/ then Download your pretty lil' creation.
