Yesterday I was wondering, how I could create Windows icon (.ico format files) without using a dedicated program.

So after a google search i did get much clever!

I already know that I could use Photoshop, to make these kind of graphic, but I couldn't save it as an icon. I experienced that I could use Telegraphics photoshop plugin (For Windows and Mac), after downloading the plugin .ico (Windows icon format) for photoshop, I did put the file into my photoshop plugin folder.

Now I could save my (16 * 16 pixel) icon file as a windows icon, I could also save it for Vista, then just pick the icon format and save.

- Download the plugin for your photoshop
- Put the plugin into your photoshop plugin folder. (A photoshop format plugin has the extension .8bi)
- Then restart your photoshop (If it open)
- Wow, now you can save your first windows icon (.ico)

Hope that, some of you could use the guide!

*** YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE ICOFormat.8BI FILE HERE ***

Download ICOFormat.8BI
(I have decided to upload the file here, because the telegraphics website used for war protests)

The Photoshop plugin is not available on Telegraphics website due to Gaza violence per their website you have linked to.

Thanks a million for hosting the plugin. I want to make a favicon, not be plagued by political statements.

You rock!
