Online Favicon to PNG Convertor

Mon, 2008-09-01 19:59 - Topics:

Ever wanted to make a list of URLs and beautify it with the favicons of the sites? Very time consuming task... With this tiny online helper it will be no problem any more. It converts the .ico into a PNG which can be displayed in all browsers then:

Showing the favicon of a domain next to a link is a really nice trick, but it’s slightly tricky to achieve as IE won’t display a .ico file if you link to it from an img element, so you need to convert the images server-side. This undocumented Google API does that for you, meaning it’s much easier to add favicons as a feature to your site.

IE7 Won't display PNG's
Hi all,

OK I admit that IE isn't my default browser (although it will be if Firefox won't sort itself out!) Anyway the problem is that all PNG's display as the dreaded X. Not sure whats going off but some programs I use automatically use IE, especially Namo and making it a pain when I want to view/use PNG's.

Any help on fixing this greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Lisa

I should of probably mentioned that this has only become an issue since Vista.
