JPEG to GIF Conversion
JPEG files use lossy compression, which means they sacrifice some image quality to achieve smaller file sizes. Every time you edit and save a JPEG, it loses a bit more quality. JPEGs also don't support transparency, so every pixel must have a color value.
GIF is a format known for its ability to support animations. However, it is limited to a palette of 256 colors, which can make photographs look grainy. GIFs are best used for simple graphics and small animations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Static JPEG photos get trapped at 16.7 million colors without animation capabilities. GIF offers frame-based animation support that made it the internet's original animation format with nearly perfect backward compatibility to legacy systems.
Converting JPEG to GIF trades JPEG's color richness for GIF's 256-color palette and animation potential. For static conversions, this is generally a downgrade - photographic JPEGs will show severe color banding and dithering when reduced to 256 colors, increasing file size without benefit. Only convert JPEG to GIF when you specifically need: (1) animation capabilities by combining multiple JPEGs into an animated sequence, (2) compatibility with ancient systems that predate JPEG support, or (3) transparency with binary alpha (though PNG is superior). For static photos, this conversion rarely makes sense.
