Why Convert GIF to JPG?

✓ Smaller File Sizes

JPG uses efficient lossy compression that often produces significantly smaller files than GIF, especially for photographic content.

✓ Full Color Support

GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame. JPG supports millions of colors, making it far better for photographs and complex images.

✓ Universal Compatibility

JPG is accepted by virtually every application, platform, and print service — ideal when you need broad compatibility.

✓ Privacy Protected

All conversion happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to animated GIFs?

Only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted, since JPG does not support animation. If you need all frames, consider a dedicated GIF frame extractor first.

What happens to transparent areas?

JPG has no transparency support. Any transparent pixels in the GIF will be filled with white before conversion.

Will the JPG look better than the GIF?

For photographic content, yes — JPG's full color depth will produce better results than GIF's 256-color limit. For flat-color illustrations or simple graphics, GIF may look comparable or better.

Are my files private?

Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
