How Can I Save Picture as an .ico File Type (icon)?

I do not see any way to do this, however. That file-type option is not available in either "Save As" or "Export."
Does anyone know how to do this?
I did a Google search and saw where I would need to download a plug-in. If this is true, can anyone recommend a good plug-in? (I'm a little paranoid about what I download on my computer).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I did it for a couple of websites, for the little favicon the pops up in the browser.
Seemed to work okay. It's worth a try. No downloads involved.

Barbara, can you recommend a particular site that you have used (for free file conversions)? I'm pretty paranoid about unwanted malware that I might get from using free stuff... ha! ha!
Thanks!

It's a free program and does a lot of other great things.

The Best way to create a .ico is in Photoshop Extended (photoshop CC cannot).
- open your file,
- size it edit all the way you want,
- then Image/Mode/
set the color to RGB Color (only) and
set it to 8 bits/channel.
it will give you a message
click ok or yes.
4. Then save as
and in the Format dropdown choose, ICO,
save it
then gives you a choice of Standard ICO and PNG,
I pick Standard ICO and click ok. you done.
