How to convert JPG to GIF

Choose a JPG or JPEG, optionally resize it, then download a newly encoded single-frame GIF.

Select an image from your device or drag it into the upload area.

Resize the image if you need different output dimensions.

Review the preview and file size, then save the converted image.

This free online JPG to GIF converter includes the following controls and output tools:

Private browser conversion. The image is processed locally and is not uploaded.
Custom dimensions. Set an exact width and height, lock the aspect ratio, and prevent accidental enlargement.
Single-frame palette output. Create a still GIF with up to 256 colors and one-bit transparency, without a quality slider.
Before-and-after preview. Review the original and converted image, output dimensions, format, and file size.
File-size comparison. See the original and converted sizes and the percentage change.
Custom filename. Rename the converted file before downloading it.
Metadata-free export. The newly encoded GIF does not copy source metadata.

GIF may be required by older software or a workflow that specifically accepts GIF files.

GIF is limited to 256 colors, so photographs usually look better and remain smaller as JPG or WebP. This conversion does not create animation.

The image is quantized to a palette of up to 256 colors, which can introduce banding in gradients and photographs.

The result contains one frame only. Source JPG metadata is not copied.

Is this JPG to GIF converter free?

Yes. Convert one JPG at a time.

Will the GIF be animated?

No. It contains one still frame.

Why do colors look different?

GIF supports a maximum palette of 256 colors.

Can I adjust GIF quality?

There is no quality slider; resize the image if you need to reduce its size.

Is my JPG uploaded?

No. GIF encoding happens in your browser.
