Creating Transparent favicon in Photoshop

Friday, September 26th, 2008

I’ve found a handy little plugin for Photoshop that lets you save files out in the .ICO format - handy for making favicons for your website!

Download the “ICO (Windows Icon) Format” in Mac or Windows format, unzip and copy the “ICOFormat.8bi” file into your “File Formats” plugin folder located in “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\File Formats”. If you have Photoshop open, save your work, close it and start it again.

You should now see “ICO (Windows icon) (*.ICO)” in the “Format” menu when you try to save a file.
