Why convert GIF to JPG?

GIF files are limited to 256 colors and can be quite large for photographs. JPG produces much smaller files with full color depth, making it better for photos and web use.

What happens to animated GIFs?

The converter extracts the first frame of an animated GIF and saves it as a static JPG image.

Does the conversion lose quality?

JPG is lossy, but at 90% quality the difference is negligible. Since GIF only supports 256 colors, JPG actually represents the image with more color depth.

Can I convert multiple GIFs at once?

Yes. Drop or select multiple GIF files. FileKit processes them all in your browser.

Will my images be uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your files stay on your device.

Which frame of an animated GIF is kept?

FileKit converts the first frame of the animation to a static JPG. Animation and timing are not preserved, since JPG is a single-image format. If you need a specific frame, trim the GIF first.

Why is the JPG sometimes larger than the GIF?

GIFs are limited to 256 colors, which keeps simple graphics small. A photographic JPG stores millions of colors, so for detailed images the result can be larger — though for most graphics it is smaller. Use the quality slider to control size.

What happens to transparent areas?

JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent pixels in the GIF are filled with a solid background (white by default). If you need to keep transparency, convert to PNG instead.

How GIF to JPG conversion works

GIF is a legacy format primarily used for simple animations and graphics with limited colors (256 max). JPG handles photographs much better with millions of colors and efficient compression. FileKit renders the first frame of each GIF using the browser's image decoder, then encodes it as a JPG at your chosen quality. Animated GIFs will produce a single static JPG of the first frame.
