Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my GIF look different from the JPG?

The GIF format is limited to a palette of 256 colors, while JPGs can contain millions. Our tool creates an optimized palette to best represent your image, but some color shifting or dithering may occur, especially in photos with complex gradients.

Will converting make an animated GIF?

No, this tool creates a static, single-frame GIF. The output will not be animated. It is designed to convert still photographs and images into the GIF format.

Why might the GIF file be larger than the JPG?

JPG uses very strong 'lossy' compression. GIF uses 'lossless' compression, but on a limited 256-color palette. For complex photos, the lossless nature of GIF can sometimes result in a larger file than a heavily compressed JPG, even with fewer colors.
