Questions

How do I convert AVIF to ICO?

Drop your AVIF file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the ICO downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the photo editor.

Is my AVIF file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Will the animation still play?

No: ICO holds a single picture, so only the first frame is kept.

Is my location removed?

Yes: the ICO is saved without camera details, so the location isn’t in it.

Can I convert several AVIF files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every ICO inside.
