Use IrfanView , IrfanView can do this just save any image to .ico. Note: It won't allow you to have transparent backgrounds therefore the resulting icon will has a square surrounding and will most likely look ugly if used on the desktop, etc.

I have used png2ico. Converts PNG files to Windows icon resource files.

The program is extremely simple to use. To create a favicon.ico that contains a logo in the resolutions 16x16 and 32x32 (an icon can contain multiple images of different sizes, but a single 16x16 image is enough for a favicon), you would use a command like the following:

     png2ico favicon.ico logo16x16.png logo32x32.png

ATTENTION! This is a console application without a Graphical User Interface (i.e. no icons, no mouse)! You have to launch it either from the console or via Start/Run. You can NOT just double-click it.
