GIF to JPG Converter

This tool converts a GIF image to JPG (JPEG) in your browser. People use it when a form, an email, a chat app or an old system only accepts JPG, or when a GIF is simply too large and needs shrinking: a JPG of the same picture is usually much smaller than the GIF.

A GIF is a palette image — at most 256 colours per frame — and it is lossless, so it stores each pixel exactly. A JPG is the opposite: it is lossy, and it discards fine detail the eye is least likely to miss, which is what makes a photograph's JPG a fraction of the size. When you click "Convert to JPG", your browser decodes the GIF, draws the first frame into a canvas, fills any transparent areas with the background colour you choose (white by default), and re-encodes the result as JPG at your chosen quality — 90 out of 100 by default. Each row shows the size before and after, so you can see what the conversion actually saved; a JPG that comes out larger (possible for a tiny or very simple image) is shown as larger, not hidden.

Two properties of GIF do not survive, and the changing format is the reason rather than a limitation of this tool. JPG has no transparency, so every transparent or semi-transparent pixel is blended onto your background colour. And JPG cannot store an animation, so only ONE frame is converted. A GIF is often used precisely for those two things — a see-through logo, a looping animation — and if either matters, converting to JPG is the wrong move. For a cut-out that must stay transparent, convert to PNG instead; for an animation you want to keep, do not convert it to a single still at all.

Be clear about which frame you get: this tool converts the FIRST frame — the one a GIF player shows before it starts animating — and the other frames are discarded. An animated GIF therefore becomes a single still image. If you need the animation, keep the GIF, or if you need individual frames as images, extract them one by one rather than converting the whole animation to a JPG.

Nothing leaves your device. The file is read and converted in your browser's memory and offered straight back as a download, and you can confirm in your browser's developer tools (Network tab) that no request carries your image. You can convert up to 20 GIFs in one batch, each up to 50 MB, downloading them one at a time or together as a ZIP. Because a JPG is a fresh lossy encode, the exact pixels of the original GIF cannot be recovered from it — if that matters, keep the GIF or a PNG.

1. The file must start with the GIF87a or GIF89a signature and be at most 50 MB; any other format is refused with a message naming what the file really is (its first bytes, not its extension). 2. The animation is detected by walking the GIF's block structure and counting image descriptors; an animated GIF produces a note that only the first frame was converted. 3. The quality (1–100) is checked and converted to the 0–1 scale the browser's encoder expects, and the background colour must be a hex value such as #ffffff. 4. The browser decodes the GIF natively. Every supported browser renders the first frame natively, so a canvas of the image's own size is filled with the background colour and the first frame is drawn over it — transparent pixels take that colour. 5. The canvas is encoded with canvas.toBlob("image/jpeg", quality) and saved under the original name with a .jpg extension. The size before and after is shown for each file.
