Online Favicon Generator/Converter

Its not like it hasn't been done before, but here it is again, my take on the Online Favicon Generator/Converter. It was just a fun project I was working on myself. Here's a free tool for you to create, edit and save your favicon. Supporting image formats such as PNG, GIF, BMP, JPG, and ICO files. There's also some simple tools for you to make some quick edits without firing up the Ol'Photoshop. Go ahead and try it out, create your own favicon.

Save and Load Online

I've added the function to save and load favicons directly from Crankberry Blog. You don't need to sign up. Just do your work, press save and two 4 character key code will be loaded for you. Next time you come back just load the key codes and you'll be ready to go. Keep the key codes in the save slot and you can update your old version without memorizing ten thousand different codes. This is a new thing I'm trying out which I'll be using for later projects. Let me know how it works out for you.

Tools Available

There are some simple tools available for your convenience. You can import different image formats or start from scratch. There's a paint brush tool, eraser and color dropper for simple editing and touch ups.

Attaching Favicon to Website

Once you have created and saved a copy of your favicon in your web directory you'll have to place the following code in your website. I always use the two following codes in my header between code.

<link href="favicon.ico" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon"/>
<link href="favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />

Try out the tool and don't be afraid to send me any comments and feedback.
