How to convert JPG to GIF

Advertisements

Upload JPG images and save them as GIF, a palette-based image format. Open JPG to GIF.

01

Choose the destination format

Open JPG to GIF and select Choose images, drag in a supported file, or use the sample. On a phone, open Settings to reach the same controls.

Upload JPG images and check File format before processing. GIF uses a limited color palette. A JPG converted to GIF becomes a still image; photographs can show banding or reduced color detail.

Choose the format accepted by the receiving website, editor or document workflow. A new extension alone does not prove the file was converted.

02

Check the image and batch

Select a source thumbnail above the active image to inspect it. Add other supported files if you need a batch.

Conversion keeps the source dimensions unless you deliberately use a separate image resize or finishing control. Check transparency and any animation or multi-frame behavior.

Convert and verify the saved file

Select Start, then download the single result or the ZIP for a batch. Output names retain the source name where possible.

Keep the downloaded copy before starting a new task. Refreshing an editor or download page returns to the main tool page; normal Back navigation can restore the current workflow.

Open the actual saved file in the intended destination. For a batch, extract the archive first; the ZIP itself is not an image.

USEFUL DETAILS

Common questions

What should I check in the downloaded result?

Open the actual saved file in the intended destination. For a batch, extract the archive first; the ZIP itself is not an image.

How does JPG to GIF work?

Upload JPG images and save them as GIF, a palette-based image format.

Will this restore quality or keep every animation frame?

No. Conversion cannot recover detail absent from the source. JPG is opaque and keeps only the first frame of a multi-frame input; a single still image remains a still image.
