How to convert GIF to JPEG
Drop your GIF files into the box at the top of the page, or click it to browse your files. The converter makes a copy of each one in JPEG format, and you can download them one by one or all at once. You can convert up to 4 images a day for free, up to 8 MB each. Pro removes the daily limit, lets you convert up to 30 images at a time, and accepts images up to 30 MB.
You can also resize your images and strip out metadata like EXIF data and GPS location while you convert. We store your images for an hour before we permanently delete them.
Converting GIF to JPEG
GIF is typically used for flat graphics and short animations that need to work in every browser and chat app, while JPEG is used for photographs, where small files and universal support matter more than perfect detail.
What changes when I convert GIF to JPEG?
JPEG uses lossy compression, so the converter trades a small amount of detail for a smaller file. The recommended quality is 80%, and you can change it in the settings.
JPEG does not support transparency, so any transparent areas in your GIF files turn into a solid colour.
JPEG cannot play an animation, so an animated GIF becomes a still image.
Understanding GIF
GIF is a format limited to 256 colours per image. It supports simple on-or-off transparency and animation, which made it popular for short looping clips and flat graphics.
Understanding JPEG
JPEG is the most widely supported photo format. It uses lossy compression to keep photos small, and it has no transparency.
Once your images are converted, the colour converter can help you translate any hex, RGB or CMYK values you're working with into whichever format your design tools need next.
