Create a new favicon with a web interface

As .ico files cannot be done with “any” image editor, simply make a .jpg file (16 pixel x 16 pixels) and upload it to this site:

you will get a zip file with your favicon.ico

thanks Canada. For the record, your solution is for a PC. The solution I offered is not platform dependent.

Personally I use a Photoshop plugin, but I was shooting for a quick and simple solution for anybody. Thanks for the contribution.
