.gif only · No file size limit · Convert as many files as you want
Every checked size is embedded as a lossless PNG inside a single .ico (supported by all modern browsers and Windows Vista+). GIF transparency is preserved. For animated GIFs, Chrome/Edge scan the opening frames and pick the most complete one as the icon — first frames of animations are often mostly blank; other browsers convert the first frame. Non-square images are centered on transparent padding, images are never upscaled. For a basic favicon, 16/32/48 is plenty — unchecking sizes keeps files smaller.
