Easy create favicon online

What's favicon ? It's come from favorites icon and also known as a website icon,
shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon.
It's a 16x16 or 32x32 pixel square icon that show at begining of url on supported browser.
See example favion 's photo from wikipedia below

favion example

Most current web browsers do not require any html coding to show a favicon
just want favicon.ico located in the web site's document root.
But some web browsers may need to bookmark that site before favicon will show.
Or maybe need some html coding. (<link rel="icon" ..... etc... didn't focus in this topic)

Favicon is use as symbol or logo like that website want to present.
But only hosts that can allow you to upload your own favicon.ico on root directory.
So if you own your domain, mostly can upload favicon to root.
But some hosts like blogger , yuwie, flixya. They didn't allow to upload files.
So you can't select your own favicon, you can use only that hosts 's favicon.

By the way, if you read this topic, I suppose you have your own hosts and want to make favicon.
You may begin from zero by draw what you want if you have good drawing skill.
But you can also make favicon from any big size images too.(jpg, gif, png, etc...)
There are many freeware tools to create that.
But in this article, I will suggest you online tools that you didn't need any program installed.

Some sites that I used by myself and think work well.
(If you knew other good one, please let me knew to add here)


Try with yourself, it's very easy :)
