How do I convert ICO to GIF?

Upload your ICO file above. It is converted to GIF automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.

Does converting ICO to GIF lose quality?

GIF is beperkt tot 256 kleuren per frame, dus foto's verliezen kleurdetail; graphics met weinig kleuren worden netjes geconverteerd.

Will the GIF keep the transparent background?

Partly. GIF keeps transparency as on or off per pixel, so soft edges and shadows become hard-edged.

Wat is een ICO-bestand?

An ICO file bundles one picture at several sizes, from 16 to 256 pixels, so browsers and Windows can pick the sharpest version for a tab, bookmark or desktop shortcut.

Is the ICO to GIF converter free?

Yes. Convert, preview and download a single result without creating an account. Premium adds batch conversion (many files into one ZIP) and larger uploads.
