Frequently Asked Questions

JPG is a single-frame format, so only the first frame of the animation is saved. Keep the original GIF if you need the movement, and use this tool purely to produce a still thumbnail or poster image.
It smooths the palette limitation, so the result usually looks noticeably cleaner. It cannot invent detail that was never in the GIF, but the posterised edges become far less distracting.
JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent pixels are filled with a solid background colour. Convert the file to PNG if the transparency is important to your design.
No. The tool is free, needs no registration and can be used as many times as you like, with each file capped at 10 MB.

About GIF to JPG

GIF has an awkward dual personality. As an animation container it is a delight, but as a still image format it is poor: it is limited to 256 colours, it handles gradients terribly and it was never designed for photographs. A GIF screenshot of a webpage can look blotchy and posterised next to the same screen saved as JPG, and the file is often larger for a single frame.

This converter takes gif uploads of up to 10 MB and saves the image as a JPG. It reads the first frame, converts the colour palette into continuous 24-bit colour so banding and hard edges are smoothed out, and gives you a clean, widely readable still image.

Two things happen that are worth planning around. Animation is dropped, because JPG is a single-frame format, so only the first frame survives. Any transparent areas in the GIF are flattened onto a solid background, usually white, because JPG has no alpha channel. If you need the animation, or you need to keep the transparency, convert to PNG instead.
