This tool lets you generate your own .ICO files that you can use as web site favicons. It is written entirely in Javascript (no lame-o server requests) and it does *not* use the HTML5 canvas element to create the data url (you probably don’t care, but I think that’s pretty cool). If you’re looking to generate a really fancy and pretty favicon.ico file, then you’re probably at the wrong place. You can read more about this tool and/or report any bugs/praise/blame on this blog post announcing the favicon creator.
You can add your generated favicon your site by naming it “favicon.ico” and placing it in the root directory of your website (/favicon.ico), or by including this on a page and linking to the proper file:
<link id="favicon" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />
