IconJ - Share Your Icons




I saw a lot of Photo sharing websites that manage your digital photos online and other digital multimedia did the same, but how about icons and favicons for Bloggers like us?


This is what I found.




Let's be clear.

What is Favicon? 

Favicon, is also known as Favorites icon, Website icon or Bookmark icon, that appears beside your URL in your browser. It is one of the most important factor on introducing yourself, your product or company around the globe.

How about Icon?

Computersa picture or symbol that appears on a monitor and is used to represent a command, as a file drawer to represent filing.

a picture, image, or other representation.



IconJ manage, host, share, and a tool that can help you organize, be in control, and customize your icons and favicons that you use in representing your brand, company, website, etc. It allows you to generate icons for your own usage, convert pics that you wanted to be a favicon, and choose from their tons of icons available in their site. They support JPG, GIF, PNG, ICO, BMP and TIFF file formats and Windows 7, XP, Vista, iPhone, iPad and Android.


Access to their Homepage and browse to their;

iPhone Style Icon Generator - it lets you create icon same as the iPhone format icons right from your PC, change your Desktop icons, use it in forums or other social networks, or make that icon your own representation.





Online Pic To Icon Converter - a tool that helps you to convert your pictures to icons instantly. No need to crop anything or edit it in any application. Choose what size you prefer;16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 96x96, 128x128, 256x256 and an output format of ICO, PNG, JPG, GIF, or BMP.





Pixel-Icon Generator - convert your pictures and icons in a pixelated format. Use it just for fun!






You can also Sign-up and be a member to be able to manage and update your favicon, display your favorites,   let your favicon be featured in their site, and a lot more.

































































I also liked how you can choose a theme for their homepage, to make it virtually appealing for your taste.




I enjoyed using this site as it gives me easy access to manage my icons especially hosting all my favicons. I also featured it in iBlogger, where you can readily use your favicon to your website. It can host your favicon or icon without even signing up, access it immediately with its direct link, html format or download it. Contrary to all aspects of it you can only upload a file size of 1MB, which can be complex for people using high quality pics and it will also be easy if you can search accessibly all the icons in the gallery where I did in their search box but it failed to show me anything. All in all, I'm thankful I found IconJ.

Nice. This is a great alternative to photobucket or flickr. Or you can use this as backup storage. :)

These are great selections if you want a ready-made favicon. But for some, they wanted things to be personalized, perhaps according to their brands or advocacy.

@dimaks

You can actually make your own personalized favicon on that website. Just what I did.

Will try this one of these days. I've made a favicon only for one of my 3 dozen blogs...maybe I have to start making one for the others as well...
