Like Hassel, this article is pretty outdated. There are programs like iconverticons.com/ that can convert not just gif and jpg but png to ico too. You can even make ico with svg. And this program works for Mac users too, who need to create icons.

I agree with what Hassel says; there are a lot of good programs online now:

I use iconverticons.com/ because it support conversion to icns, ico, and png, for Macs, Windows, and Linux, and it supports all kinds of input formats that others don’t, like SVG.

converticon.com/ and convertico.com/ are also pretty good although they don’t have as many features.

This program is pretty old and not worth using anymore. If you want to convert from JPG to ICO or GIF to ICO, check out this site:

http://converticon.com/

It’s online and generates high quality images, so you don’t even have to install anything.

It’s is essential to convert into .ico. As web specialist, to create favicon (image at address bar), it’s very important.

This I have to agree with Jeff, it is quite small and don’t need to install.

Nice program.

By the way ImagIcon is portable too if you install it to a USB drive instead of your hard disk.

Amazing it is a portable utility so that we can copy it onto usb and bring anywhere.
I usually convert jpg, giv and png to ICO by XnView. It is really small with many functions and completely free.
