Convert GIF to ICO

Turn GIF files into ICO right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Good to know

  • Only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted.
  • The ICO file holds 16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 px versions. Non-square images are centered on a transparent square.

About the formats

GIF is limited to 256 colors and is mostly used for short animations. Still images look better and weigh less in other formats.

ICO bundles several icon sizes in one file. Browsers use it for favicon.ico and Windows uses it for shortcut icons.

Questions

How do I convert GIF to ICO?

Drop your GIF files on the box above, or tap it to pick them. ICO is already selected, so conversion starts right away. Download each file, or grab them all as a ZIP.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Decoding and encoding run in your browser with WebAssembly. Open your browser's network panel while converting and you will see no image data leave the page.

How many images can I convert at once?

Up to 500 files per batch, each up to 256 MB. Download them one by one, as a ZIP, or save them straight into a folder in Chrome and Edge.

Is camera data like GPS location kept?

No. Output files are written fresh from the pixels, so EXIF data such as GPS position, camera model and date is dropped. Photos are rotated upright first, so nothing ends up sideways.
