JPG to GIF Converter

JPG to GIF — Quick 8‑Section Guide

1) Core idea

Convert a JPG to a single‑frame GIF entirely in your browser for broad compatibility.

2) Flow

1. Upload a JPG.
2. Click Convert to GIF.
3. Download the GIF.

3) Sanity checks

• GIF uses an indexed palette (up to 256 colors), so gradients may posterize.
• Transparency is limited to on/off; no partial alpha like PNG.

4) Shortcuts

• For smoother gradients and smaller files, prefer WebP/PNG for static images.
• Downscale large photos before converting to reduce color banding.

5) Pitfalls

• Large photos as GIF can be heavy and look worse than JPG/WebP.
• Color shifts can occur due to palette quantization.

6) Micro examples

• Create a simple graphic or sticker as GIF.
• Generate a compatibility fallback for very old platforms.

7) Mini FAQ

• Private? Yes — everything runs locally.
• Animation? This tool makes a single‑frame GIF from your JPG.

8) Action tip

Use GIF when compatibility matters; choose PNG/WebP for static images with better quality/size trade‑offs.
