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 每帧仅限 256 种颜色，因此照片会损失色彩细节；颜色较少的图形则能干净地转换。

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.
