Turn a JPG photo into a GIF image in seconds, right in your browser.
Only JPG and JPEG images are accepted on this page.
Your image never leaves your browser. Conversion happens on your own device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. GIF holds at most 256 colours, so photos with smooth gradients may look slightly banded. JPG images have no transparency, so the GIF will have a solid background.
GIF is the format for simple graphics, small icons, and images that must play nicely everywhere, from old forums to messaging apps. The JPG to GIF Converter turns your JPG photo into a GIF image in one click.
Everything runs in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded to a server. Choose a JPG, convert it, and download the GIF straight to your device.
Keep the JPG for photographs you want to look their best, because JPG holds millions of colours while GIF holds only 256. Use GIF when you need the widest compatibility or a simple graphic look, for example for an icon, a diagram, or a small image in a message. A photo converted to GIF will not gain animation, since this tool converts a single still image.

GIF can hold only 256 colours, while a JPG photo holds millions. Smooth gradients such as skies can look banded or slightly flat after conversion, because similar shades are merged into the nearest of the 256 colours.
