You can upload files here and it converts them to .ico for you...

Why bother with all that when you can do it online sure?

Or you can download GIMP or PAINT.NET; free photo editing software and edit it, its quite simple. Also keep in mind that certain file types don't support transparency so if you save it as a JPG for example and then change the file type to ICO it will give it a white background.
