title: Converting GIF's, PNG's and JPG's to .ICO files using Imagemagick
body: <p>From: JPG, To: ICO;</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/convert -resize x16 -gravity center -crop 16x16+0+0 input.jpg \
  -transparent white -colors 256 output/favicon.ico 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the output for the command line.</p>
  
  <p>From: GIF's, PNG To: ICO;</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/convert -resize x16 -gravity center -crop 16x16+0+0 input.png \
  -flatten -colors 256 output/favicon.ico 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am having issues with transparency. I can't seem to get the right code for it, i have tried -channel alpha -negate, etc</p>
  
  <p>This creates an image and when i apply to the site, it works with Firefox but none of the other browsers. IE, Chrome, Opera and Safari all hate it for some reason, it is a simple favicon.ico file. My conclusion is it must be my command somewhere is breaking. Please help?</p>
