The Mandatory Favicon Generator: web-based and free

If you run a website, you’re gonna love this one: it’s a fully web-based Favicon generator. Trust us: even if you think you already know the best way to create Favicons (like Microangelo), you absolutely need to take a look at this one. The benefit: You don’t need to buy and install software, and you get a very high quality Favicon in an instant!

Making a sophisticated Favicon has never been easier. You simply upload an image of your choice (PNG, GIF or JPEG) – that can be up to 5 MB -, then you crop it by dragging and resizing a rectangle over your image, hit ‘Capture & Preview’ – and you’re done!

You can then download the .ico file to place it in your own website’s root as a favicon. The site even offers you the HTML tag to copy&paste to your source code. And the best part is: it’s fully, totally, absolutely free. Thanks to the guys at A Beautiful Site for this!
