GIF to JPG Converter

About GIF to JPG

Turns a GIF into a still JPG. It is handy for grabbing a photo-style picture from a GIF you were sent, or getting a file small enough to attach, and it compresses with a quality setting you control.

How to use it

1. Drop a .gif file onto the box or click to pick one from your device.
2. Check the preview. An animated GIF appears as a still image.
3. Set the Quality slider from 10 to 100; it begins at 85.
4. Click Convert to JPG and then Download JPG to keep the result.

Pulling a still from an animated GIF

A 480×270 animated GIF whose background color is set as transparent.

A single 480×270 JPG of the frame the browser shows, with transparent pixels replaced by white. Every other frame is dropped.

When to use it

• Making a preview image from a reaction GIF for a report.
• Producing a thumbnail for a page that links to the animated original.
• Converting a scanned-style GIF into JPG for a system that does not accept the older format.

Questions about GIF to JPG

Which frame do I get from an animated GIF?

The browser draws a single frame onto the canvas, normally the first one. There is no control for choosing a different frame, so cut the frame you want out with a video or GIF editor first.

How are transparent areas handled?

White is painted behind the image before the GIF is drawn, so transparent pixels become white in the JPG. That matches the way many GIFs are meant to look on a light page.

Will the JPG look better than the GIF?

Not usually. GIF colors are already reduced to a palette, and JPEG then adds its own compression. JPG is the smaller choice, but it may show fuzzy edges around text and line art.

Does it keep the loop or timing?

No. JPG has no concept of frames, loops or delays, so all animation data is discarded.
