Favicons are the tiny 16×16 icons that sit next to you website in the address bar or favourites/bookmarks of your browser. They must be saved in the Windows icon format, one that is not directly supported by Photoshop out of the box. Get the plugin to save .ico files from Telegraphics and create your own favicons. The plugin is a free download for both Mac and PC.

Any clue where a Mac user can get another free .ico plugin? Telegraphics removed their download page in protest protest at Israeli violence and aggression in Palestine! Good reason to protest… but I’m still searching for another plugin. Google just keeps rerouting me to Telegraphics via every blog that’s ever posted about favicons!
Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you for this tutorial. Are you going to make a new Photoshop tutorial any time soon?
