What is a .gif file?

GIF is a 1987 format limited to 256 colours per frame. It survives because it can loop short animations. For a still image it is dated: PNG handles the same flat colours better, and JPG handles photographs better.

Converting a GIF to a still is common when a site or form wants a JPG or PNG and the GIF is just a logo or a screenshot. If you need the animation to survive, this tool is the wrong one.

GIF questions

Can I convert an animated GIF to JPG?

You get the first frame as a JPG. No output format on this site stores animation.

Will I get every frame?

No, only the first. Splitting frames is not offered.

Does a GIF to PNG conversion keep transparency?

Yes. PNG keeps the GIF's transparent areas.

Why does my GIF look grainy as a JPG?

GIF flat colours and sharp edges suit PNG better. JPG adds compression noise around edges. Use PNG for logos and line art.

Are my GIFs uploaded?

No. They are processed in your browser.
