Convert GIF to JPG

Convert GIF to JPG when you need to put a GIF somewhere that only takes still images: a profile picture, an application form, a document. You get an ordinary JPG picture.

What happens when you convert GIF to JPG

A GIF is often an animation, while many upload forms and editors expect a single frame. Some services also refuse a GIF where they ask for a photo. JPG removes those obstacles: it's a still image that any program opens.

• An animation keeps its first frame; the other frames are left out.
• A transparent background is filled with a solid color, usually black.
• The size in pixels doesn't change.
• No colors are added: the picture keeps the limited palette of the GIF, just in another format.

How to convert GIF to JPG

1. Upload the GIF on this page.
2. Choose JPG as the output format.
3. Click "Convert" and download the picture.

When a GIF needs to be a JPG

• Use a frame from a GIF as an avatar on a service that rejects animation.
• Put the picture into a report or slide deck where motion isn't needed.
• Attach the image to an application whose form says "JPG only".
• Print a greeting card or meme that was saved as a GIF.

If you need the whole animation

• To keep every frame and make the file lighter for a website, use the GIF to WebP converter.
• For the opposite task, making a GIF from a photo: JPG to GIF converter.

Frequently asked questions

Which frame ends up in the JPG?

The first frame of the animation. If you need a different one, cut it out in a GIF editor and save it as a separate file first.

Will the picture get better quality?

No. A GIF stores a limited set of colors, and converting doesn't add more. JPG simply makes the picture readable by any program.

What happens to a transparent background?

JPG can't store transparency, so the background becomes solid, usually black. It's safer to put the color you want behind the picture in an editor beforehand.
