Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert JPG to GIF?
Some chat apps, forums, and older tools accept GIF more reliably than JPG. It is also a simple single image format.
Will the photo look as good?
Not quite. GIF supports at most 256 colours, so a photo with many shades will show some banding. For full quality keep the JPG or use PNG.
Is the GIF animated?
No. This makes a single still GIF from your photo. There is no animation.
Why is the GIF sometimes larger than the JPG?
JPG compresses photos very efficiently. GIF does not, so for detailed photos the file can be larger. The tool shows both sizes.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Your photo never leaves your computer. The first conversion downloads a small encoder, then the photo is processed locally.
Does it keep the same dimensions?
Yes. The width and height in pixels stay the same; only the format and colours change.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes, in any modern browser, with nothing to install.
