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

    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.
