The program uploads your graphic to the screen then you drag a box over the area that you want to make into an icon, then it seems to 'snapshot it' from there. Problems: 1. Doesn't handle transparency (so white areas of your graphic will appear white - which means generally your favicon will appear in a white box. 2. Because you have to drag and size the box around to define the area that is the favicon (it doesn't assume the size of the original file uploaded) you struggle to get the image at the right size/position.
