Create .ico icons easy

In my last post a presented some work i did, and there is one thing i thaught i would shed a bit of light on, and that is icons.
I used mspaint to create my graphix this time, i'm a fan of Photoshop but for creating a simple icon like mine paint is a ok enough. And of course, Photoshop cost at least an arm and a leg, meaning less money for keg.

However, mspaint cannot simply save your image as a .ico file. And no, you cannot simply rename your .jpeg's either.


But there is a web service for just this, and it's free. It's http://convertico.com/ I have used it alot, and it's just great. And again.. FREE.
So, just save your file as .png and slam those .png's onto the webpage. And it will return you your .ico file within seconds, simple as that.
