Convert ICO to GIF - Free Online Image Converter
ICO holds small icon images with transparency for app icons and favicons. Converting to GIF is only useful for legacy contexts, since GIF is limited to 256 colors and reduces smooth transparency to a hard edge. For a faithful, modern result, PNG or WEBP preserve the icon far better.
Typical result: a 256-color image; only for legacy needs.
