How to create a .ico file
Published by Cristian September 19th, 2007 in How to... and Photoshop. Tags: No Tags.
I made mine in Photoshop. But Photoshop doesn’t have by default the option to save a file in .ico format so I had to use a plugin.
To integrate your plugin with Photoshop go to Edit–>Preferences–>Plugins and select the path for your plugin. Remember to restart Photoshop after the changes.
Icons for websites have the dimension of 16X16 pixels.
To make the icon appear on your browser you have to save it where your site’s index file is saved. And then copy the following code
<link rel=”Shortcut Icon” href=”/favicon.ico”>
to your index file and save it.
Next time you open your site you will see your custom icon. Enjoy!
