Animation & frame selection
Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.

What happens when you convert GIF to JPEG?
Quality
Typical JPEG files are lossy. The original standard also defines a separate lossless mode; it is not the usual web or camera JPEG. Quality defaults to 82; adjust it in Advanced options. File size depends on the image and encoder.
Transparency
Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
Metadata & colour
Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.

Indexed-colour images and simple frame animation. GIF uses LZW compression and palette-index transparency.

A familiar format for photographs. JPEG keeps files compact by trading a little image detail for broad compatibility.

Good choice when
- Your application or delivery workflow requires JPEG.
- You need a still image and can accept losing the source animation.
- Your delivery workflow accepts lossy output and possible changes to edges and colours.
Probably not when
- You need to preserve motion, timing or the complete frame sequence.
- You need exact decoded pixels, sharp text or flat-colour edges preserved without loss.
- You need transparent areas to remain transparent.

- Transparency
- Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
- Dimensions
- Rendered image dimensions are retained within the converter limits; this tool does not offer resizing. Orientation handling depends on the source decoder.
