Convert GIF to JPG
Drop GIF files and download them as JPG. GIF can hold transparency and JPG cannot, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you choose (white by default). Conversion runs on your device, so large batches finish in seconds and nothing is uploaded.
How to use the GIF to JPG
- Drop or paste your GIF files (up to 200).
- Set the JPG quality (90 is visually lossless).
- Click Convert to JPG.
- Download each file or all as a ZIP.
Why convert GIF to JPG?
GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame, which ruins photos but suits simple animations and flat graphics. It supports one-bit transparency (a pixel is either fully opaque or fully transparent).
JPEG is the universal photo format: every camera, phone, website and printer handles it. It compresses by discarding fine detail the eye does not notice, and it cannot store transparency.
What changes in the conversion
GIF is lossless and JPG is lossy: the conversion trades a little detail for a much smaller file. At quality 90 the difference is invisible for photos; for text and line art keep quality high or prefer a lossless target. GIF can hold transparency and JPG cannot, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you choose (white by default). Animated GIF files are converted to a still image of the first frame.

How it works on your device
Your browser decodes the GIF file into raw pixels, draws them onto a canvas and asks its built-in encoder to write JPG. Nothing is sent to a server, which is why there is no file-size limit beyond your device's memory and no queue.
