A more generous answer would have included a link to a favoured source of

I used Irfanview to achieve this in the past. There are Web-based utilities
though. There have the merit of being available to use from all platforms. I
frequently use:
http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/

Really? I learned something new. Thanks.
By the way, if you wish to have animated favicons, have a look at:

I only know of one site apart from mine that does that. It'll become hotter
when it is more widely supported. Firefox et al. at ~10+% is good enough to
justify use.
