JPG to GIF
Converts JPEG files to GIF format — photographs, web images, and social media where smaller file size matters more than perfect quality to simple animations, memes, and images on platforms that support animated GIFs natively. All conversion happens locally in your browser with no file size limits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert JPEG to GIF?
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) uses lossy compressed encoding and is best for photographs, web images, and social media where smaller file size matters more than perfect quality. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) uses lossy (limited to 256 colors) encoding and excels at simple animations, memes, and images on platforms that support animated GIFs natively. Converting between them lets you take advantage of each format's strengths — for example, using a compressed format for sharing and a lossless format for editing. All conversion happens locally in your browser with no file size limits.
How is my JPG encoded as a GIF?
Your still image encodes to a single-frame GIF locally via the bundled gif.js worker (2 workers, quality 10, workerScript /gif.worker.js) using the encodeGif path in ImageCatchAllConverter. HEIC input decodes via heic2any, while TIFF/JXL inputs may not decode in browsers.
Does JPG to GIF make animated GIFs?
No — output is a single still frame, not an animation. Use the video-to-gif tool to cover animation.
What happens to JPG transparency?
Transparency flattens to white — no transparent option is passed to the encoder, so any see-through areas become white in the GIF.
Do my JPG files upload anywhere?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded, so downloads on this local tool are unlimited.
