    This is something that, in 2020, Photoshop -- AND Illustrator! -- ought to be able to do natively. I just used [Link removed by moderator] to convert a 32x32 PNG to ICO, but why should I be forced to perform these extra steps? If a WEBSITE can do it, surely this is a simple thing to add.... And don't give me "plugin" as an answer because A) I don't use plugins, and B) the plugins that were once used for this no longer work with CC!

        Shame on Adobe that does not support ico file type.

        I would complain to Adobe about this. Make a video and post it to YouTube. Tell them that you will publically tarnish them if they don't fix this.

        Than use the free website to drag and drop files that I provided you, that works. I am not a tech nor do I work for Adobe. Why don't you call adobe to help you? Please stop emailing me.

        The information on the above post is from 2011.  I am using the latest version of Photoshop CC.   I added the ICO file as instructed.  The "Save As" option list does not list .ico

          I made a comment for you just below. You either have to install the .ico file format plugin in your Photoshop plugins folder or go to a free website and have it convert a .png image for you. 

          I wish Adobe would build in support right into the app, they have never had this which is very dumb.

          The .ico file format is a Photoshop plugin where you need to install the plugin in your app folder on the Mac or PC. Once installed it will be an option under save as. It has to be saved at specific dimensions. Here is a link to instructions:

          You can also use a free website where you drag and drop a transparent PNG image into a website box and have it generate the .ico file for you to use on your website. This site is found here: https://www.convertico.com/
