  3. Press Convert and download.

Animation cannot survive — you get frame one

JPG is a single still image with no concept of frames. Converting an animated GIF gives you its first frame and nothing else. That is not a limitation of this tool but of the target format: there is no such thing as an animated JPG. If you need to keep the motion, you want a video format, not an image one.

Only 256 colours to start with

GIF stores at most 256 colours per image. JPG can store millions, so nothing is lost in the palette going this direction — but nothing is gained either. A GIF photograph converted to JPG still shows the banding and dithering that the 256-colour limit forced on it originally.

Transparency becomes a solid colour

GIF supports single-colour transparency; JPG supports none. Transparent pixels are painted onto the background colour you choose, white by default. If the GIF has a transparent background and you need to keep it, convert to PNG or WebP instead.

Questions

Is this free?

Yes. No account, no watermark, no cap on how many files you convert.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.

Will the animation be kept?

No. JPG holds one still image, so you get the first frame. No image format in this converter can hold animation.

What happens to a transparent background?

It is filled with the background colour you pick, white by default. Choose PNG or WebP instead if transparency needs to survive.

Will it look better as a JPG?

No. The GIF was already limited to 256 colours and that damage is permanent. JPG simply stops restricting the palette going forward.

Why convert at all?

Usually to cut file size for a photographic GIF, or because a system will not accept GIF uploads. For a simple graphic or logo, PNG is the better target.
