Frequently asked questions
About JPG to GIF
JPG to GIF is mainly a compatibility conversion. Some older systems, forums, email tools, or simple web workflows still ask for GIF, even when the source image is a normal photo. This tool creates a static GIF from a JPG image. GIF is limited to 256 colors, so it is not ideal for detailed photos, gradients, or skin tones. Logos, simple icons, flat graphics, and small illustrations usually survive the conversion better than camera photos. If your goal is animation, converting one JPG will not create motion. You need multiple frames or a video-to-GIF workflow for that.
