🔁 Convert GIF to ICO
About these formats
About GIF. GIF is an old format limited to 256 colours per frame, best known for short animations. For static photos almost any modern format will look better and weigh less.
About ICO. ICO is the multi-resolution icon container browsers load as a site favicon. A single .ico bundles several sizes so the browser can pick the sharpest one.
Your GIF image is rendered at several small sizes and packed into a single ICO file, ready to serve as a website favicon.
When to keep the original instead. There is no quality penalty to worry about here, but it is still wise to keep the original GIF as a master copy.
