title: remove favicon white background
body: <p>I need to remove white background from a favicon at www.webwoods.co.uk/lsss/index.html (the black and red star)</p>
  
  <p>is there a way of doing this with the commonly used graphic editors (Adobe CC, Paint, etc.)?</p>
  
  <p>I have created a favicon online, but it doesn't remove the background; also, I used a PNG with transparent background.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
