GIF to JPG
Take a GIF as a still photo file — never uploaded.
How it works
Three steps, and nothing leaves your device.
-
1
Drop the GIF in
It is decoded in the page; nothing is sent anywhere.
-
2
The first frame is taken
JPG holds one still image.
-
3
Download the JPG
Transparent areas are filled with white.
What you get, and what you lose
- An animation becomes its first frame. There is no way around this — JPG has no concept of frames. If you wanted a particular moment rather than the opening one, a GIF is not going to give it to you here.
- Transparency is filled with white. GIF transparency is on/off, and JPG has none at all, so anything see-through becomes white. Use GIF to PNG to keep it.
- The 256-colour limit is already permanent. Converting to JPG cannot bring back colours the GIF discarded. Banding in the source stays banded; JPG simply re-encodes what is there.
- JPG may not even be smaller. If the GIF was a small flat graphic it is already compact, and the JPG can come out larger while adding compression fuzz. Compare before replacing it.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the animation?
You get the first frame. JPG stores a single still image.
What happens to transparency?
It is filled with white. Convert to PNG instead to keep it.
Will the colours improve?
No. Colours a GIF discarded cannot be recovered.
Is my image uploaded?
No. It is converted in your browser.
