What is GIF?
GIF is the classic format for short animations and memes. It plays automatically and loops in every browser and chat app, but it is limited to 256 colours per frame and stores video very inefficiently, so animated GIFs are often many times larger than the same clip as MP4.
What is JPEG?
JPEG is the same format as JPG — only the file extension differs. It is the standard for photos, with lossy compression that keeps files small and universal support, but no transparency.
Tips for converting GIF to JPEG
- Transparent backgrounds are only kept in formats that support them (PNG, WebP, AVIF); JPG fills them with white.
- For photos, lossy formats keep files small; for logos, screenshots and text, lossless PNG stays sharper.
- Converting an already compressed GIF does not add detail — start from the highest-quality original you have.
- If the image is for a website, a modern format such as WebP or AVIF usually loads faster than JPEG.
