About GIF to JPEG conversion

GIF is a format commonly used for simple animations and graphics with limited colors (256 max). JPEG is better suited for photographic images with millions of colors. Converting GIF to JPEG can reduce file size for photos while providing better color representation. For animated GIFs, this extracts the first frame as a static image.

When to convert GIF to JPEG

You have an animated GIF and need a static image from it, or you have a GIF that would look better as a JPEG with full color support.

This tool converts the first frame of your GIF to JPEG. For animated GIFs, you get a clean still image at the quality level you choose.

Note that GIF's transparency becomes white in JPEG, and animation is lost. If you need transparency, convert to PNG instead.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to animated GIFs?
The first frame of the animation is extracted and converted to JPEG. The animation is not preserved as JPEG only supports static images.
What happens to transparency?
JPEG does not support transparency. Any transparent areas in your GIF will become white in the JPEG output.
Will the colors improve?
GIF is limited to 256 colors. JPEG supports millions of colors, so photographic GIFs may look better as JPEG with smoother gradients.
What quality setting should I use?
For most GIFs: 85-90 works well. Since GIFs often have solid colors and sharp edges, higher quality helps preserve detail.
Is my file stored on your servers?
