Frequently asked questions
Does converting an animated GIF to JPG keep the animation?
No. The JPG is a still image of the first frame, because JPG cannot hold animation. The other frames are discarded.
Why does my converted GIF still look grainy?
GIFs store at most 256 colors, so photos saved as GIF show dithering and banding. Converting to JPG keeps those flaws; it cannot add back the lost colors.
What happens to transparency in the GIF?
Transparent pixels become white, since JPG has no transparency. Convert to PNG if you want to keep a transparent background.
Are my GIF files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your GIF files stay on your device. There is no signup, no watermark and no cost, and you can convert a whole batch and download it as a zip.
About GIF to JPG
People convert GIF to JPG when they want a single picture rather than a looping animation: a thumbnail from a meme, a preview image for a document, or a file for a form or print service that only accepts JPG. It is also common to rescue an old photo that was saved as a GIF in the 1990s or early 2000s and now needs to go into a modern workflow.

An animated GIF becomes a single JPG made from its first frame; the other frames are dropped. GIF images have at most 256 colors, and converting to JPG does not restore the missing colors, so a photo that was saved as a GIF will still show banding and dithering in the JPG. JPG also cannot store transparency, so transparent pixels turn white, and its compression can add faint noise around the hard edges that GIF graphics have. For logos and line art, PNG avoids that problem. File size usually drops for photographic images and may grow for simple flat graphics.
GIF is lossless but limited to a 256-color palette per frame; JPG is lossy, using discrete cosine transform compression. JPG cannot store transparency, so any transparent area in the GIF file turns white. GIF files can be animated, but the result is a still image made from the first frame. Compatibility: Every browser, phone, camera, editor, email client and upload form opens it, which is its main strength.
