Where GIF files come from
A still GIF is usually an old web graphic, a logo or a diagram from an era when GIF was the only widely supported format with transparency.
What changes when you convert GIF to JPG
| Encoding | GIF decoded and re-encoded to JPEG at quality 90 |
|---|---|
| Colours | Expanded from a 256-colour palette to full colour, though the missing colours do not return |
| Animation | Only the first frame is kept |
Worth knowing first
GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame, so a photograph saved as GIF has already been reduced and banded. Converting to JPEG does not undo that, and JPEG compression on hard-edged palette graphics can add visible fringing. PNG is usually the better target for a still GIF.
FAQ
Should I use JPEG or PNG for a still GIF?
PNG, in most cases. A GIF is a palette image with hard edges, which is exactly the content JPEG handles worst and PNG handles perfectly. Pick JPEG only when the GIF is a photograph and size matters.
My GIF was animated. What happened?
JPEG holds one image, so you get the first frame. If you want the whole animation as a video, the GIF to Video tool converts it to MP4 or WebM.
Will the colours improve?
No. The 256-colour reduction happened when the GIF was made and the discarded colours are gone. JPEG can store more colours but has nothing extra to store.
Is this GIF to JPG converter free, with no upload?
Yes. The image is decoded and re-encoded in your browser using a Canvas + Wasm pipeline — it never uploads. No signup, no watermark.
