I used: http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/
to generate my favicon and on the preview on there the icon looks good but when i upload to my site it appears really bad quality.
anyone have any idea why?


edit: nm fixed it

Here. I tried that site myself, and this is how mine came out:

Is that what you were going off of when you said it looked 'good'?

If so, it's because that image is considerably larger than what your favicon's actual size is.

I would recommend getting someone from the Graphics section to transform your image into a favicon. I got an SF user to render a large image from my logo and turn it into a regular sized favicon for free. It's much better if a human does it, as opposed to an automatic script.

yeah i solved the problem by download a PS favicon plugin.
thanks though

I prefer DynamicDrive.com for favicon generation. Never had a problem.

that was one i tried too and i got the same problem.
i don't know what the problem was. even if i changed image size to 16x16 and then uploaded still same result.


but i got it now
