How to create your favicon.ico (or any icon) in Photoshop

Have you ever thought of making your own favicon.ico for your website but didn’t know how to? Installing new applications like IconWorkshop™ can be a real pain and not always so easy. Luckily if you are a Photoshop user there is a simple file extension which allows you to open up .ico files in Photoshop and save them as well! This tool is really great and it’s what I used to make my own favicon.ico.

Installation is really quick and simple, all you have to do is download the zip file or dmg file, depending if your on a mac or pc, and then extract the files inside the archive into the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\File Formats

That’s it! Restart Photoshop and you should be on your way to creating icons!
