No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, so it is safe for private photos, contracts and business data. Once the page has loaded it even works offline.

Can I convert multiple ICO files to GIF at once?
Yes. Add as many ICO files as you like; they are converted in parallel on your device and you can download them all as a single ZIP.
Is it free? Are there limits?
It is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits. Because nothing is uploaded there is no upload size limit either; the only limit is your device’s memory, which matters mostly for very large videos.
