#2If there isnt already a website that lets you just upload a large image and then creates all the different sizes for you and provides the code to paste in for you then there needs to be. If it doesnt exist and people here are interested, i'll make it this weekend.

I use Faviconit ($0.99)

But yes, a nice website will be a better bet. Use when I need it. With the image quality is not degraded when smaller size comes out of the big ones.

I think I remember seeing a similar tool on Reddit a few months ago. I tried to Google for it, but couldn't find anything so perhaps it's not around any more.
Either way, it'd be a very handy tool so I say go for it!

#6Could someone explain why the author suggests 4 sizes in the favicon.ico including 24x24 and 64x64? Why not use an ICO with only 16x16 and 32x32 image formats? Thanks in advance.

And because favicons are now being used in many other places, such as Safari’s Reader and IE9’s pinned sites, the best approach is to supply a higher resolution favicon, at least 64x64 pixels.

#8Yet another article written from a mac-only user point of view. Most desktop monitors are still around 100 dpi, far from "retina" standards.

Sorry about that – the point of the article definitely wasn't to exclude non-Retina users, it was just to document what I was encountering when I came to creating a favicon for the site.

Out of interest, what language will you write it in?
