Why this tool is different
A GIF is either a low-colour still image or a short animation, and JPG can only be the former. We are explicit about that: animated GIFs export their first frame and we tell you, rather than pretending the animation survived.
How it works
- 1
Add one or more GIF files.
- 2
Pick a background colour for transparent areas and a JPG quality.
- 3
We decode the first frame and encode JPG.
- 4
Download individually or as a ZIP.
What to watch out for
Animation cannot survive
JPG holds exactly one frame. An animated GIF exports its first frame. If you need the animation, keep the GIF or convert to a video format elsewhere.
GIF only has 256 colours
That limit is baked into the source. Converting to JPG cannot restore colours the GIF never stored, so photographic GIFs will still look banded.
JPG may be larger
For flat graphics with few colours, GIF can be smaller than JPEG. Convert because you need a JPG, not to save space.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep the animation?
No. JPG is a single-frame format. The first frame is exported and the result tells you when the source was animated.
Why does my converted GIF look grainy?
GIF is limited to 256 colours, so gradients are already banded before conversion. JPEG then adds its own artefacts on top. The underlying limitation is the GIF.
What happens to transparency?
It is filled with the background colour you choose, since JPG has no alpha channel.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in JavaScript and WebAssembly inside your own browser. Open your devtools, switch to the Network tab and run a conversion — there is no upload request to see. Closing the tab clears the working session.
